The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

This book is the reason I am such a fan of historical fiction. I've always been curious about Paris salons of the 1920s, and McLain's account of the love story of Ernest Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley Richardson, takes us into the world of the hard-drinking, fast-living American artists who emigrated to Europe in the decades between the two World Wars. But more than that, we become the confidant of Hadley as she describes what it's like to fall for and love the charismatic Hemingway.  Throroughly enjoyed.
