I've been debating picking that one up, @moviequeen1. Please let us know what you think, after you've finished.
 
This afternoon, I finished 'The Paris Wife' by Patricia McLain,though its fiction its based on true facts
Its set in the 20's, 28 yr old Hadley Richardson meets Ernest Hemmingway at Hadley's college friend, Kate Smith's apt in Chicago. She becomes his 1st wife after a whirlwind romance,they move to Paris
I enjoyed the book found it fascinating, not knowing anything about Hadley& her life with him
 
The book I started this afternoon"We All Live Here' by Jojo Moyes
Lila Kennedy's life is in disarray, she raising 2 teenage daughters, her ex left her for a neighbor,around the same time her mom died.Her step dad has now moved in,tries to help Lila
I'm enjoying it
 
This morning finished reading' We All Live Here' by Jo Jo Moyes,story of Lila Kennedy& her dysfunctional how they learn to all get along
I loved it laughing& wiping away tears, its the best the author has written in my opinion
The other books of hers I've read are Me Before You,After You, The Giver of Stars,The Girl You Left Behind
I highly recommend this Sue
 
History is my favorite reading subject. Fact or fiction.

As long as the fiction contains factual incidents, places or people, disguised to a degree.

Rhys Bowen writes books in that manner and I have fact checked her from time to time. She is always spot on and while her books are rather serious, she is quite witty. Enjoyable reading.
