Book 4: The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

Someone told me to read this book before I see Midnight in Paris, so I picked up the audio version to "read" on my way to and from work. This book is the fascinating story of the first wife of Ernest Hemingway and their life together in Paris. It is fascinating to hear the stories of Gertrude Stein and F. Scott Fitzgerald and how they were all in the same social circles, even before they made names for themselves. The book is very well-written: towards the end, there were characters/people that I absolutely hated. I mean, I couldn't stand them and if they were still living today, I would be tempted to send hate mail. So it must be a good book, right? I recommend it. I haven't seen Midnight in Paris yet...maybe this weekend...
