The Paris Wife

by Paula McClain

** 2/5

This is the fictional account of the first wife of Ernest Hemingway. I don't know that I realized this when I bought the book, because I am not a huge Hemingway fan. It chronicles his early works like the writing of "The Sun Also Rises" and others. Interesting but more focused on the love life and his relationship with his contemporary writers. The author doesn't flatter him in this portrayal and the wife is the heroine.
