'Mrs. Hemingway is so beautifully written, and evocative, that I could not put it down until the last page.' - JoJo Moyes, author of Me Before You.
A Richard and Judy Book Club selection.
In the dazzling summer of 1926, Ernest Hemingway and his wife Hadley travel from their home in Paris to a villa in the south of France. They swim, play bridge and drink gin. But wherever they go they are accompanied by the glamorous and irrepressible Fife. Fife is Hadley's best friend. She is also Ernest's lover.
Hadley is the first Mrs. Hemingway, but neither she nor Fife will be the last. Over the ensuing decades, Ernest's literary career will blaze a trail, but his marriages will be ignited by passion and deceit. Four extraordinary women will learn what it means to love the most famous writer of his generation, and each will be forced to ask herself how far she will go to remain his wife . . .
Luminous and intoxicating, Mrs. Hemingway by Naomi Wood portrays real lives with rare intimacy and plumbs the depths of the human heart.
This novel is really well structured and also well-written. It becomes clear that the author knows the wives of Mr Hemingway well. She creates an atmosphere of the old time and expresses the feelings of the characters very well. It is also very understandable( quite easy english). Overall I must say the novel was good and nice but not something extraordinary.
Nethertheless, I would recommend it for everybody who is interesting in these women! 3,5 Stars!
