\"Hadley-and-Ernest-Hemingw-007\"

This fictional story of Ernest Hemmingway and his first wife Hadley Richardson is a wonderful read. \u00a0It is a fascinating portrait of a Power of Love character (Hadley) and a Power of Will character (Hemmingway) living and loving in Paris of the 1920’s.<\/p>\n

Hadley supports the soon-to-be great man with all the patience, determination and tenacity of a true Power of Love character. \u00a0But she’s not a victim or a martyr. \u00a0The gift he gives her is strength, confidence and the ability to live without him when their marriage is done.<\/p>\n

When Hadley and Hemmingway meet in Chicago. \u00a0Hadley is visiting a long-time school friend. \u00a0She is a shy spinster type, living in her married sister’s house after caring for their long-ailing mother. \u00a0She is resigned to a quiet existence at the mercy of family obligations.<\/p>\n

After her trip to Chicago, Hadley returns home to Saint Louis convinced that Hemmingway is “a beautiful boy” but isn’t all that interested in her. \u00a0She is surprised and delighted to get a letter from him after only a few days time.<\/p>\n

The two fall in love via long letters (sometimes two or three a day). \u00a0They marry and go off to Paris where she encourages, helps and becomes the emotional pillar supporting his work. \u00a0Hadley has a life with Hemmingway filled with interesting people, places and parties. \u00a0Her voice (and influence) is clear, steady and practical in a world filled with posing and posturing and the brittle gaiety of post World War I Paris.<\/p>\n

Hemmingway is the lusty, larger than life Power of Will character who sweeps Hadley off her feet and off to Europe. \u00a0He’s a man’s man, fascinated with boxing and bull fighting. \u00a0He is immensely talented, hard drinking and hard-working. \u00a0He can also be belligerent and a bit of a bully (eventually alienating \u00a0many of his early mentors and supporters). \u00a0Hadley gives him the loving forgiving nurturing that was so crucial to his early uncertain years as a writer.<\/p>\n

This is a wonderful portrait of the dynamics between two very clearly drawn Character Types. \u00a0They are absolutely true to type but wonderfully unique as individuals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
