A review by johndiconsiglio
Mrs. Hemingway by Naomi Wood

4.0

An utterly unnecessary, ridiculously romantic & absolutely irresistible soap opera take on Hemingway and his four wives. Each section is narrated by a different Mrs. Hs, but the titanic author is the real centerpiece. And it's a portrait Papa would have adored: passionate, ravenous, tortured, equal parts lout & lover, despised & desired. There’s Paris cocktails, Key West sword fishing, bombs bursting over Madrid—all punctuated with steamy trysts & Lost Gen soirées. Trash, sure. But delicious trash.
