A review by witchqueen76
Mrs. Hemingway by Naomi Wood
4.0
I don't generally read biography type books, and even though this says it is a work of imagination it reads like a biography and I wonder how much is true. This account of Hemingway's life is told through his wives' eyes - and it is a fascinating, enveloping read, that switches back and forth in time and location. I love travel so reading about Paris, Key West, and Cuba was a huge pull!
Hemingway is pretty hateful in a typical womanising way and it was only towards the end that I saw him as a flawed man with issue, but it was really the wives that kept me reading, as I was totally drawn into the stories of their lives, loves and losses. It really is quite a beautiful book, I just wish I knew how much of it was true.
