It’s so interesting to get the perspective of Ernest Hemingway’s wife. I’ve definitely wondered about her and how she could put up with him. yes it’s fiction but totally plausible and very entertaining. It was hard to watch her make bad decisions and be treated terribly. But fascinating. This was very well written
