![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I highly recommend this book, and I would also recommend reading The Garden of Eden it's not one of Hemingway's best-known novels, but I believe it echoes - from his point of view - the story of this marriage (Linda P). A must-read for all Hemingway fans and a great introduction for those who are not acquainted with his tragic story (Mary S). I found the book fascinating (Rosemary T). Upon completing the novel, I found myself wondering if Hemingway would have persevered during his early years to become the writer we know today if he hadn't been married to Hadley. Perhaps the author's greatest strength is that her writing style is much like Hemingway's - crisp, clear, and concise (Mary S). While I didn't always agree with her decisions, she is astonishingly real on these pages (Michele J). The author stays true to history while finding truth and poignancy in Hadley's voice. ![]() The narrative is very compelling! I was hooked by the first chapter and it never let up, and despite knowing how the marriage ended, I was riveted. With 20 out of 22 reviewers rating it 4 or 5 stars, The Paris Wife is a clear favorite amongst BookBrowse readers, and has inspired many to revisit classic works by Ernest Hemingway. A fictional exploration of the passionate and ill-fated marriage between Hadley Richardson and the legendary Ernest Hemingway ![]()
