Really, really, really enjoyed this book told from the viewpoints of Ernest Hemingway's four wives, in chronological order, and significantly with them overlapping one another. While a work of the author's "imagination" there was evidently serious research behind many of the key events and issues explored. The writing was gently poetic at times, subtly smart at others and always had the kind of flow that made you not want to miss a single word in case you missed a soothing turn of phrase or a key moment in the many sub-plots that were very successfully sewn throughout the novel. So very glad I picked this book up. Will be handing it over to someone else to read very soon, which I think is one of the highest compliments I can give a novel.
