This book is one cliche after another. It should be studied for "how not to write."

Extremely unlikely.

How could she?

Disappointment.

Yes, because I liked the story. I found myself going to the Internet and looking up Hemmingway's life before the end because I wanted to see what part was true and what fictionalized.

Hard to stay. I guess Hadley because the story was in her voice.

No. She was clear and it was easy to distinguish characters.

Hemmingway, although I think I would find him dangerously seductive. After all, he had a pattern of marrying women then dumping them for another while still married.

This book did not get a 5 star because there was something a little bit slow about it and the writing was a little simplistic next to other audiobooks I've listened to. I almost put it away after the first part, but after I got through a rather banal beginning, the story line started to pick up and then I had to finish it.

This was an amazing story from start to finish-my best credit spent on audible yet!

Hadley Hemingway is endearing and relatable-you will root for her all along the way. I became so interested in her that I did research on the side as I listened and found that much of this story is true, which makes it so much more fascinating.

This story was so engaging-I found myself dreaming of a time such a this, and wishing I could steal a drink and a dance with Hemingway (despite his terrible flaws!)

The narrator was perfect-she did not over act or over annunciate the international names and places which is a peeve of mine. I will look for more stories read by her.

I loved it so much that I just purchased "A Moveable Feast" to get EH's take on this time in their lives.

This was my first Audible audiobook, and ever since I have been hooked. I loved everything about it, the reading, the history, the glimpse into this post-war, artist-filled Paris, the story of course---loved it all.

Throughout the book I really felt like the author was reading the book, like Mrs. Hemingway was writing and reading the book herself. I don't think it could get better than that.

A great book that will give you snippets into the days of Hemingway and his friends, but mostly about his first wife, her trials and tribulations of loving an artist, and so much more. Just a great listen.

I purchased this audiobook solely based on the fact that everyone has read the book. I know another peer pressure book. I think there are a complete mix of reviews for it and honestly I didn't read any of them at all.
The book is written solely from the perceptive of Hadley, a young woman who soon falls in love and marries Earnest Hemmingway. The story from what I gather is pure fiction but I had a hard time with that part. It seemed to be based on so much fact that I had to research the book just to make sure.
The book starts off really boring and Hadley's life before marrying Earnest seemed to be boring and depressing. Escaping to a friends house for a few weeks changes everything and that is when the book gets better.
I had to say this (being the liberated woman that I am) but Earnest added some excitement to her small town life. I wish Hadley would have had a hobby or a interest besides Earnest. Anything to keep her from being a one dimensional person. I should say that she does play the piano but that goes to the waste side for Earnest.
Through Hadley's eye we (the readers) get to see Earnest Hemingway in a new light. The amazing writer that everyone added to their list of Great American Writers is seen as a real person with womanizing and alcoholic demons.
I wish there was more to Hadley and I would have loved to have the beginning be more captivating and exciting.

My fiction club had this title on its list of potential reads, so I went ahead and listened to it. "The Paris Wife" is a fictionalized account of Hadley Hemmingway during the years of her romance and marriage to Ernest. The book takes you to Europe during the flapper years and introduces you to the oh-so-strong personality of the young writer. You really want Hadley to have a bit more spine in the relationship, but alas, she is but the first of his four wives and many lovers. The story is perhaps a bit "lite", but the audiobook is excellent.

A better narrator with a better, non-annoying voice.

A more involving story.

I stopped listening after a few tries.

No

Bailey White.
Meryl Street.
Louise Edrich.

Almost anybody.

Really could not' say as I never got involved with any of the characters

Wish I could get this book exchanged with another

The Paris Wife is not well written made worse by the narration; overly dramatic as if she was reading to a child. Sadly, the story was interesting, but hard to stick with it to the end. Can't figure out why it has been given so many stars!

I would recommend this book because it is an interesting story, beause it was easy to listen to on speaker in the car, and because it is based on historical events.

Sad at the end, but interesting.

I enjoyed the book so much that I then listened to The Sun Also Rises. And now I am reading Green Mansions. The Purple Land will be next.
