If you are interested in Hemingway, there is a fictional story by Paula McLain about his relationship with his first wife that you might like to read. Titled The Paris Wife, this book looks at his life experiences and how they influenced his writing. Although it is fiction the author uses information from his real life and details garned from conversations with his first wife to lend potential insight. It isn't a classic novel, but it a fun read about one of the great classic authors.

I read The Paris Wife a few years ago. I think it accurately captured the time Hemingway and Hadley were together.sirajaqb wrote: ↑27 May 2018, 07:02 The Old Man and the Sea was one of my favorite books in high school. The underlying themes of courage, strength, and learning from your failures really struck me. I think his writing style was really what pulled me in. I absolutely hated the slow pace we were reading in for class! I wanted to devour the story, not savor it. I have gone back and reread it a few times now and I always learn something new about myself and Santiago.

Hadley is from my town and I believe her childhood family home still exists. In A Moveable Feast Hemingway admitted that he had made an enormous mistake where his first wife was concerned. Till the day he died he bitterly regretted their break up, which was his decision, not hers. At the time Hadley was devastated but got on with her life and had a very successful marriage later. Hemingway met with her and her new husband and he kept in touch with her off and on till the end of his life.
