Fine, up to a point

This is an absorbing and worthwhile study of Hadley's life, but after she and Hemingway break up, Diliberto doesn't have much to say about Hadley. She sums up the rest of her life quite briefly, leaving the impression--one that I'm sure the author did not intend--that Hadley wasn't very interesting and didn't have much of a life aside from her time with Hemingway.

Absorbing, detailed look at his first wife and her influence

Diliberto has done a wonderful job as researcher and writer to bring this remarkable woman to life. I really felt the joy and pain of both her life and her long influence on Hemingway. One cannot really understand him, and his much criticized views and literary treatment of women, without knowing her. A can't-put-it-down read if you're interested in him and the first half of the 20th Century. By the way, she had a "second life" after Hemingway with the poet Paul Mowrer
