Paris Wife: A Novel by Paula McLain


"Portrays the love affair and marriage between Ernest Hemingway and Hadley Mowrer from their Chicago meeting in 1920 to their lives during the Jazz Age in Paris, but as Ernest struggles to find his literary voice, Hadley tries to define her role in their relationship as wife, friend, and muse."  Follett Titlewave

I'm really enjoying this book!  

Three neat things about it:


  •         The novel talks about his summers at his family’s cottage Windemere on Walloon Lake near Petoskey, MI ( I got to tour it during his birth centennial)

  •          This book ties in perfectly after seeing Woody Allen’s new film Midnight in Paris -such a charming film!

  • For the first time, I downloaded this title from the Public Library on my smart phone!  I have a Kindle, but so far, it only allows titles to downloaded from Amazon so this was great that I could read an Ebook from the library!
