    To Have and Have Not is the dramatic story of Harry Morgan, an honest man who is forced into running contraband between Cuba and Key West as a means of keeping his crumbling family financially afloat. His adventures lead him into the world of wealthy and dissipated yachtsmen who throng the region, and involve him in a strange and unlikely love affair.

    Marsha says: "Nostalgic read."
    "Moving story, great narrator"

    Would you consider the audio edition of To Have and Have Not to be better than the print version?

    Yes


    What was one of the most memorable moments of To Have and Have Not?

    I was moved when Hemingway had multiple people, that were unrelated to the main characters in the story, expose their nightly bedtime thoughts, worries, and general perceptions. It's good to be pulled up from a story you are so embedded in and reminded that life is going on around your primary characters.


    What does Will Patton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Will Patton does an excellent job with accents and inflections in just the right places. Hemingway's sentences can get pretty long and descriptive, but Patton never misses a beat.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    When Harry Morgan is trying his hardest to get his last, dying words out. And when he finally does, the crew around him thinks it jibberish, but you as the reader, with an inside view, know the truth.
