The Paris Wife

Author: Paula McLain
Stars: 4.5
Review by: Car-Lay

This is the story, in her voice, of Ernest Hemingway's first wife, Hadley Richardson, and their time together, mostly in Paris during the 1920's.  They were the "Golden couple" in with the lively group including Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott  Fitzgerald.  But Hadley was not prepared for the fast-living and free-loving life style of Paris and Spain.  "This is the  heartbreaking portrayal of love and torn  loyalty."  Although a work of fiction, the narrative is supposedly faithful to known facts.
