A Moveable Feast by Ernest HemingwayMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
When we booked our trip to Europe, I started reading books that were known to capture the essence of places we were visiting. This book is touted as Hemingway's lovesong to Paris. I have to say it didn't really take me there (nor was I reminded of it while I was in Paris). But I did love the vivid snippets from his life. It made me want to get to know more about Hemingway, and the artists and authors he associated with there. Watching Midnight in Paris before reading this helped me visualize the characters more. It is interesting how time and life plays with memory and it would be interesting to see if he felt so romantic about his first wife if he had written this in the present tense, rather than at the end of his life in Idaho. He also described his writing process, which was very interesting.
