I entered a competition on a website to win one of 50 copies of The Paris Wife. They always do book giveaways as part of a book club on the website's forum and I've never been lucky enough to win any of the books before. I didn't get an email confirming I'd won, so I wasn't expecting it to arrive this morning
I'm really happy. I must have miss typed my email address.
Set during a remarkable time, the same period as Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast and The Sun Also Rises, Paula McLain's The Paris Wife brilliantly captures the voice and heart of Hadley Hemingway as she struggles with her roles as a woman—wife, lover, muse, friend, and mother—and tries to find her place in the intoxicating and tumultuous world of Paris in the twenties.
"This absorbing, illuminating book gives us an intimate view of a sympathetic and perceptive woman, the striving writer she married, the glittering and wounding Paris circle they were part of, and the challenges of trying to preserve love and domesticity in the face of rising celebrity and ruthless ambition."
