Mrs. Hemingway

By: Naomi Wood

Narrated by: Kate Reading

The Paris Wife was only the beginning of the story….

Summer, 1926. Ernest Hemingway and his wife, Hadley, take refuge from the blazing heat of Paris in a villa in the south of France. They swim and play bridge, and drink gin with abandon. But wherever they go they are accompanied by the glamorous and irrepressible Fife. Fife is Hadley's best friend. She is also Ernest's lover. Hadley is the first Mrs. Hemingway, but neither she nor Fife will be the last. Each Mrs. Hemingway thought their love would last forever; each one was wrong.

Narrated by Hemingway's four wives - Hadley, Fife, Martha, and Mary - and peopled with members of the fabled "Lost Generation" - including Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott Fitzgerald - Mrs. Hemingway paints a complex portrait of the man behind the legend and the women behind the man, a riveting tale of passion, love, and heartbreak.

Great book

Great book gives lots of history on Hemingway and lifestyle
Highly recommended book and is told in such a way to respect the wives

Amazing

The content of the book itself is brilliant, as is the narration. The prose has a similar feel to Hemingway's, and the narrator captures the feeling the book intends perfectly.

The Wives

I’ve read The Paris Wife and Love in Ruin. They left me wanting to know more about the women Hemingway loved. This novel did not disappoint. An accurate depiction of the wives and mistresses of Hemingway. The crossovers between the books made me chuckle as you would only pick up on them if you read all these novels. Great read

Love the craziness of Hemingway

It was very interesting to learn more about Hemingway’s wives. I will read more Hemingway.

Great history

Fascinating stories of Hemingway's 4 wives, as well as world events! I enjoyed immensely and highly recommend!
