Paula McLain does an incredible job bringing to life Paris of the 1920s and the Lost Generation. McLain shines a light into Hadley and Ernest Hemmingway’s unique private world. Their relationship, and life in Paris was filled with famous expats and artists, poverty, loneliness, love, ambition, and adventure. Their loyalty, youth, and naivety are heartbreaking as their simple lives become increasingly complex and tumultuous. Hadley’s love of everything that makes Ernest who he is, is exactly what makes this story so wonderfully tragic. I highly recommend this read, as it is insightful, enriching, and emotional.
