"[A] significant contribution to setting the record straight"
--Publishers Weekly, April 2012
"A major scholarly accomplishment -- authoritative, thoroughly
researched, pioneering, and ably written.... a must for Hemingway
scholars, teachers, and aficionados." --Anne Marie Candido in
Arkansas Historical Quarterly
"A riveting portrait of a marriage, and a fascinating biography of
Pauline Pfeiffer, the most intriguing--and most misunderstood--of
the Hemingway wives. This compelling story about the
Hemingway/Pfeiffer relationship significantly enriches our
understanding of this complicated man, and, along the way,
introduces us to a new heroine in the Hemingway saga." --Mary
Dearborn, author of Mailer: A Biography
"Anyone interested in Hemingway's life between 1927 and 1940 should
consult this book." --The Hemingway Review, Fall 2012
"Because Pauline was a private person and the only one of
Hemingway's four wives to precede him in death, Ernest's
self-serving account of their relationship and of the Pfeiffer
family's influence on him has unfortunately been the primary source
for Hemingway scholars. Hawkins's book is a welcome corrective."
--Norman E. Stafford in Arkansas Review, 2012
