Review # 1 was written on 2014-08-19 00:00:00 JIll Schaffer Originally published in 1962 after the suicide of her famous brother, Marcelline Hemingway Sanford shares stories of growing up with her brother and very interesting family. With their primary residence in Oak Park, Illinois, and their summer home at Walloon Lake, Michigan, I found these local stories interesting just for their history. A newer edition was published at the centennial of Hemingway's birth in 1999, and includes correspondence between Ernest and his sister Marcelline. Hemingway's experiences as a child and young man in Illinois and Michigan, as well as his time in Italy, Paris, and Spain are part of this treasure trove of Hemingway history. Marcelline Hemingway Sanford's writing is clean and her narratives move along crisply, with wonderful characterization of the family members and friends who influenced Ernest Hemingway.

We choose one book having to do with early Montana history, NA History, nature, etc. We divide it into 4 parts and meet for 4 weeks to discuss the questions that go with each part of the book. It has been fun to read and share a book or two a year, without having to be committed to a full Book Club each month! If you would like a copy of our questions for your Book Club, let us know. Can you contact me through Good Reads? If not, please e-mail [email protected]. Also put ATTN: Donna - Book Questions (or something similar).
