Reviews for The Paris Wife
Stunning
I was a bit unsure about what i would think of this book. It was a bit slow to begin with but after the first two or three chapters, i could not put it down. The imagery is gorgeous. Definitely worth the read. by Alannah Tomlinson
Beautiful Love Story!
I had seen Midnight in Paris and set the book in that visual imagery of Stein's Grand Salon and life in Paris...Love this story which is based on Hemingway's first wife (the first of four). It shows a tender, vulnerable and sensitive Hemingway that is very different from his late in life persona of a gruff "Papa". Wonderful read about a complex woman behind the famous man--much like "Loving Frank". I, too, felt sorry for Hadley but hoped Hemingway realized what he'd lost... by Maggie Swithenbank
Hemingway's Wife
Told in first person from the viewpoint of Ernest Hemingway's first wife, Hadley, I enjoyed reading about Paris (and Chicago as Hadley was American) and the events of the 1920's/30's. I have to admit that I have never read a book by Hemingway, but that lack of experience didn't detract from my enjoyment of the book. I often thought back to the movie Midnight in Paris which is kind of how I set the book in my mind's eye. With the events of the book based on fact, I found the book easy to read, and ended feeling very sorry for Hadley. by Wendy SEKULOFF
