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

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. ...
