Ah, I loved this one. It traces Ernest Hemingway’s relationships with each of his four wives and paints a believable portrait of each of them and the times they lived through. All of the Mrs Hemingways are interesting, intelligent, memorable women in their own right. You have to wonder what they all see in him. If the book has a fault it’s that it fails to convey Henmingway’s charisma, but then the women are the stars of this one after all. At long last.
