Chicago 1920: Hadley Richardson is a shy twenty-eight-year-old who has all but given up on love & happiness when she meets Ernest Hemingway & is captivated by his energy intensity & burning ambition to write. After a whirlwind courtship & wedding the pair set sail for France. But glamorous Jazz Age Paris full of artists & writers fuelled by alcohol & gossip is no place for family life & fidelity. Ernest & Hadleys marriage begins to founder & the birth of a beloved son serves only to drive them further apart. Then at last Ernests ferocious literary endeavours begin to bring him recognition
- not least from a woman intent on making him her own.. . See Judys Review See Richards Review Download A Sample Chapter Of The Paris Wife See Paula Mc Lain talk about her book Reading Group Questions Read an exclusive Q&A with Paula Mc Lain Write a Review for The Paris Wife Judys Review For me The Paris Wife is all the more poignant for the fact that from the outset we know this happiest of young marriages is doomed. Hadley herself is our narrator & issues a clear warning in the opening chapter. I dont want to say Keep watch for the girl who will come along & ruin everything but shes coming anyway set on her course in a gorgeous chipmunk coat & fine shoes. Oh dear. But the strength & tenderness of the relationship so beautifully described by Mc Lain conspires to almost make us forget that it is headed for disaster. & the descriptions of Paris in the early 1920s are marvellous. This was the sparkling dawn of the impossibly glamorous Jazz Age. The Hemingways are surrounded by legendary figures
- F Scott Fitzgerald & his wife Zelda; Gertrude Stein; Ezra Pound. Life is fuelled by gossip & alcohol & sex. All are in full flight from the terrible war & the atmosphere is volatile. Hadley has a son & begins to realise that a bohemian lifestyle with exotic febrile friends is no basis for family life. She begins to lose her confidence & is plagued by jealousy. Meanwhile Hemingways writing is reaching its fullest power & a terrible deception is imminent. This is a wonderful book & a fascinating insight into the early life of a literary giant. It also moved me to tears. Richards Review

Although it is less than three years since the previous edition some important changes in the law have taken place. These include new provisions relating to reviews of parishes in England in the Local Government & Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 with the power to create parishes in Greater London; the extension to some parish councils of the power to promote well-being enacted by the Local Government Act 2000; the removal of local councils from the ambit of the best value legislation (also in the LGPIHA 2007); new codes of conduct for councillors in both England & Wales; new regulations on allowances for community councillors in Wales; new election rules; & revised accounting guidance & practice; & the coming into force of much of the Commons Act 2006. There have also been many detailed changes in regulations & orders made by statutory instrument. The alphabetical format of the book remains the same as does its extensive but clear coverage of all aspects of the law & practice of parish town & community councils in England & Wales. New councillors in particular will find this book invaluable & in fact many clerks insist that all their councillors have a copy to ensure they have a full understanding of their duties & responsibilities. It is also an essential reference for clerks themselves. ...
