Title The Paris wife : a novel / Paula McLain.

SRP 2013 REVIEW: It is fiction but is is about Ernst Hemingway and his first wife in Paris in the 1920's. Fascinating book and has prompted me to read several of Hemingway's early books.

SRP 2013 REVIEW: read this from a previous recommendation. very good historic fiction - in voice of ernest hemmingway's first wife, when he was still unknown and they moved from america to paris, becoming part of the 'lost generation' group that made paris what it was, post-WWI, and the beginning of his fame.

SRP 2012 REVIEW: I loved the story...it captured Hemingway's life from a unique perspective, his first wife's point of view. It made me want to find out more about him and HER!

SRP 2012 REVIEW: The beginning 1/2 of the book was good. I love stories concerning Ernest Hemingway, but I lost interest in the story after the first 1/2.

SRP 2012 REVIEW: I really enjoyed this fictional book based on the lives of Hemingway and his first wife in Paris during the roaring 20's.

SRP 2012 REVIEW: Wonderful look at the first wife of Ernest Hemingway. I liked it a lot more than Hemingway's novels.

SRP 2012 REVIEW: Very riveting. Never knew how awful Hemingway was

SRP 2012 REVIEW: Very enjoyable and authentic book of Ernest Hemingway's first wife.

SRP 2012 REVIEW: Based on the true story of Hadley, Ernest Hemmingway's first wife. Their marriage and how Ernest became the writer he was because of her. Good story - based on research - I am curious how much of it is true. I feel really bad for Hadley and all she had to deal with.

SRP 2012 REVIEW: Loved this book. She had a lovely relationship with Hemingway. Sad ending

SRP 2012 REVIEW: I found this book to be simply wonderful. I adored "Loving Frank" and this is in the same light -- only the focus is Ernest Hemingway and his first wife, Headly.

SRP 2012 REVIEW: Really makes you want to hate Hemingway

SRP 2012 REVIEW: Very well written historical fiction. If you like 1920's Paris and the persona of Hemingway you will enjoy this book very much.

SRP 2011 REVIEW: Fun fiction about Hemingway's first wife, Hadley. A peek into how Hadley could live with what was to become the most influencial (and pompous) modern American writer. A good pairing w/ Hemingway's A Moveable Feast.

SRP 2011 REVIEW: I was completely transported to 1920s Paris, Spain, and Austria while reading McLain's meticulously researched fictional account of Ernest Hemingway's first marriage to Hadley Richardson. What a life!

SRP 2011 REVIEW: This book was unbelievable. It gives you a deep insight into the wonderful personality of Hadley Richardson and tells the honest tale of Hadley and Ernest's love. Wonderfully written.

SRP 2011 REVIEW: Very interesting look at Ernest Hemingway's early years and his relationship with his first wife. If you've read Loving Frank or The Women, you should read this.

SRP 2011 REVIEW: This is a must read if you love Paris, or Hemingway, or both. Even if you don't, this book is a marvelous introduction to Hemingway's first marriage, told from the point of view of his wife, Hadley. It is wonderfully researched, and beautifully told, as well as a necessary accompaniment to my favorite read of the summer: A Moveable Feast.
