    Engaging historical fiction about Hemingway's Four Marriages
  

*by J***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 15, 2017*

4.75 STARS!!  I found this to be an engaging historical FICTION read about the complex American writer, Ernest Hemingway, and his four marriages. There are a number of truly beautiful, poetic descriptions that made me stop and just enjoy. Within each of the book's four sections (one for each of Hemingway's wives), the author wove the endings of each marriage with the beginnings of the next. Her crafting of the novel led me to believe Hemingway truly loved being in love and couldn't bear to ever be alone. Of course, I don't know if that's truth or just her dramatization of his life. The novel is written in the first-person POV of each wife, and emphasizes the women's similarities, differences, connections, and possible real-life perceptions about each other--as well as Hemingway and the world at large.Some reviewers feel the scope of this book is far too narrow, since we learn only as much about the women as their connection to Hemingway, but that didn't interfere with my enjoyment of the story. I also found the factual to be woven seamlessly within the theoretical and fictional that I found myself tempted to believe ALL of it.It's been a few weeks since I finished reading this novel, yet I'm still very curious about a few points in MRS. HEMINGWAY. So much so that I wish I could have a chat with the author. I'd want to know which parts are true, which might be but can't be proven, and which are fabricated. I don't share or see having questions about a book I've read as a negative. In fact, the highest praise I feel an author can receive is when a reader says how s/he didn't want it to end and that s/he was left wanting more. Because of this novel, I want to research further about Hemingway's work, his life, and that of his wives and contemporaries. If you love history, women's fiction, beautiful language, and complex, introspective, and emotional reads, I'd highly recommend Mrs. Hemingway.Why not 5 Stars?? The jumping back-and-forth in time within each section (separated chronologically by wives) was irksome here and there, (but it was especially useful in the fourth section. In spite of that jumping around in time, I still very much enjoyed this novel. I'm a huge fan of history in general, and find Hemingway's professional/personal life endlessly fascinating. (I can't say I'm a fan of his, but I do find him an intriguing figure in American Literature/history.) At times repugnant, others endearing, I found Hemingway's depiction in this book to be well-balanced overall. I also felt so much more understanding and empathy for each of the wives than I've had after other historical/fictional accounts.

    Papa’s Serial Wives—the Hemingway legend of love and booze and genius
  

*by N***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 28, 2018*

Mrs. Hemingway, a novel, revealed what the writer’s four marriages may have been like from the inside. Ernest did not like to live alone and he also had a wandering eye. Serial monogamy was the answer to his dilemma. Each wife apparently thought she’d be the exception and the solution for his womanizing. But each failed.It’s an interesting study of one man in many marriages, each completely different. The novel closely follows the documented events of his four marriages and shows the similarities and uniqueness of each relationship. The women are well drawn and their stories are sympathetic and  believable. As always with historical fiction it’s perplexing not to known what is real and what is contrived, but the women fare well even if their judgment is often suspect. What doesn’t always come across is the intense appeal of Hemingway himself. He’s often rude, deceitful, selfish and childish and his need and capacity for alcohol is epic. (In fairness, his wives all try to match him drink for drink, but he’s in a class of his own.) It’s amazing he functions as well, as brilliantly, as he does.His alcohol-fueled candle blazed at both ends and scarred his life and the lives of the women who loved him.A good read for Hemingway fans.

    A work of imagination
  

*by F***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 23, 2014*

I really wanted to love this book… I commenced reading, but something didn’t feel right. Some sentences in the book read like sentences in romance novels. But this thought did not occur to me until I had read approximately 25 percent of the book. I felt increasingly confused. I went back and reread parts of the book in an effort to discover what it was that I didn’t like.It occurred to me that the book may lack credibility. Many parts of the book are made up of dialogs between Hemingway and his wives and other people. I wondered if these people really could have said what was written. Perhaps. But how could the author know?At this stage I had a closer look at the table of contents. There was an Afterword and the first sentence said, “This is a work of imagination.”At this moment I realized that I was reading a novel, not a nonfiction book as I had assumed earlier. I went back to the first pages of the book and also had another look Amazon’s short description of the book, but I couldn’t find anything that could have warned me about the true nature of the book earlier.I was disappointed. I realized that I was, indeed, reading a romance novel: admittedly, a very sophisticated romance novel, a well-written work of biographical fiction, but nevertheless, in many respects “a work of imagination.”I think this should have been made clear to the reader from the beginning, perhaps in a Foreword, but not at the very end of the book in an Afterword.The good thing was, from the moment I had discovered the true nature of this book, I was able to read it from a different perspective. I started to get some enjoyment out of it it and the book turned into entertainment.
