I'm a *big* Hemingway fan, one of the favorite things I own being my 1st edition copy of Old Man & the Sea, so it was a foregone conclusion that, if written well, I was going to enjoy this. You have been forewarned. I wondered going in if this was essentially going to be Hadley's version of 'A Moveable Feast', and it turns out that book is where McLain got her inspiration. So a second reading of that earlier work is in the cards for me soon. This book is beautifully written, and covers a fascinating period of time: the 20s in Paris, when an incredible collection of artists and writers more or less spontaneously assembled in Paris. You'll meet Hem, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, John Dos Passos, Gertrude Stein, Ford Madox Ford, Harold Loeb, and many, many others. I found myself referring often to Wikipedia to learn more about this fascinating real-life cast of characters. You'll learn a lot about the making of the writer and man who was Ernest Hemingway. McLain's writing is tremendous, and Hadley's voice is pitch perfect in relating her story. Hadley was one of many boats who crashed to near-ruin on Hem's rocky shores, and you feel her pain - and his - acutely as their marriage disintegrates. Even though the subject matter is mostly historic fact, I'd rather not give away how McLain resolves the story. Suffice to say, the ending is satisfying in that way which makes you want to just sit back and reflect upon putting it down for the last time. Highly recommended. And for those who find it enjoyable, I likewise highly recommend Woody Allen's recent film, 'Midnight in Paris', about which I will say nothing except that there's a magical surprise in store for you.
