I've had this one on my shelf for AGES and just have never grabbed it, so I figured it was time! I haven't read any historical fiction in a little bit, so I was ready to dive in again. This one focuses on Hemingway's wife, and I always find that time period and that whole crew of authors (like the Fitzgeralds and Ezra Pound and others) fascinating. The plot of this one seemed to move pretty slowly to me, and I wasn't terribly excited about continuing to read it. I kept hoping for more action, and the only things that really piqued my interest where the few little inserts from Ernest's perspective, exposing more of his character and his secret actions... but then it was just frustration that I felt toward him and their relationship. I wanted to really love this one, but just didn't think the plot drove strongly or interestingly enough for me to really get into it.
