I really enjoyed it. My first Hemingway book was when I was in school in England in the 50s, reading in English, The Old Man and the Sea. I have received A Paris Wife and Paris was Ours – so I’ll read them soon and will wait for your Paris was Ours review. Right now I am reading several books, in French, I bought when I was in Paris last May. I see you read Le Ventre de Paris de Emile Zola. I read it in French after seeing that it was one of Anthony Bourdain’s favorite books. You know it gives a good idea about the Halles, but the book is more about the culture of French bourgeoisie I think. I miss Les Halles – we used to go there late at night to eat on week-ends after we went dancing in the left bank.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-56081754510364812962011-07-23T11:56:53.418-04:002011-07-23T11:56:53.418-04:00Bellezza - I just downloaded the audio version of ...Bellezza - I just downloaded the audio version of The Paris Wife.

I'm almost done with Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth, and I feel a major WWI kick coming on. I read almost all of Farewell to Arms when I was in high school, and I'm intrigued to go back and read it now with the background I've gained from Brittain's memoir.<br /><br />I like the new look, too!

A Moveable Feast has been the most enjoyable read - bringing Hemingway and 1920's Paris to life.GirlsWannaReadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12981627850782598265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-54485591031194918082011-07-21T10:34:49.788-04:002011-07-21T10:34:49.788-04:00Great information.

I'm currently reading <i>A Paris Wife</i> which is a carefully researched novel told from the point of view of Hadley. I highly recommend it if you have time, since those two books, along with the film <i>Midnight in Paris</i> make a fine package. <br /><br /><br />Your new blog look is lovely. xo<br /><br />p.s. It's so interesting to know that Hemingway grew up not an hour from where I live. We're related, probably. ;)Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.com
