The Paris Wife

I came across The Paris Wife by Paula McLain at my school's book fair. Parents of a student of mine bought it for my classroom, and I finally had a moment to read it.

I enjoyed this very much, and am planning on re-reading many of Hemingway's novels and short stories. Most of my Hemingway reading took place in school years ago, and this insight compels me to ponder his writing again.

McLain's portrayal is beautifully depicted, and despite being brought to tears with the inevitable outcome, the love they had for each other, was described so tenderly; at times I felt I was actually witnessing it.
