Summary

Ernest Hemingway was was larger than life and created his own personal and professional mythical status. Paula McLain brings us an intimate portrait of Hadley Richardson, Hemingway's first wife. Hadley, a lovely and talented young woman in her own right, met Hemingway and was swept off her feet by this young man who was eight years her junior. McLain draws a superb portrait of the Hemingways' magical time traipsing around Europe with their friends. She poignantly demonstrates how their enchanted relationship systematically falls apart. Bookclub-in-a-Box has created a comprehensive guide to Paula McLain's novel, The Paris Wife, and includes reflections on the personality and perceptions of Hadley Richardson and Ernest Hemingway; Hadley's influence on her husband; Hemingway's progress in breaking into the literary world; and the high life and exciting times of Paris in the 1920s.Every Bookclub-in-a-Box discussion guide includes complete coverage of the themes and symbols, writing style, and interesting background information on the novel and the author.
