I enjoy reading historical novels, but I haven't read much about Hemingway's books. We'll get a glimpse of his life even if it's just a figment of the author's imagination. Finley has perseverance in attempting to fit into a world where women are not always seen or heard. Congratulations on the BOTD.

Illustrating a historical character, inspired of a role model, that never exists needs a high level of creativity and writing skill. It seems like an interesting book to read. Thanks for this great review.

I'm not into historical fiction so I'll pass. Surely many readers will enjoy and appreciate it though.

I'm not really versed on the life of Hemingway but I've read a short story about him. I'd really love to see how having a daughter changes what a know. Sounds like an interesting plot. Nice review!
