I had no idea how blasted crazy Ernest Hemingway was. In fact, it makes me want to read more of his books since I have quite some background on him and the reason for some of his stories. I appreciate that in Paris Wife, Paula McLain wanted to make sure that out of his four wives, his first wife had a position of respect. I won't lie, I was a little annoyed with her whining, and our book club had quite a good time analyzing her, but I also don't know what it's like to be her, married to a man like Ernest. But overall, I was engaged for the entire book, and I hope to read more about the other wives. I will also try to read his autobiography to be fair and impartial. But until then, the 20's Parisian American artists were all crazy! Speaking of, Paula, if you are reading this, can you do a book of Zelda Fitzgerald? That would be fun!
