Maybe it was too much eye strain trying to stay awake when I read " The Sun Also Rises " or the much worse " The Old Man and the Sea " AND Thor Heyerdahl 's " Kon Tiki ", but in the interest of future eye conservation for the 100+ books I still want to read, I often choose the Large Print version of a book when it is convenient. Now I can see the similarities between the two books, especially chronicling the party set from the perspective of a strong woman, but, of the two, I much prefer " The Paris Wife ". I didn't realize until I was setting up this page that the author, Paula McClain, also wrote " Circling the Sun " which my book club has also read. Historical fiction - my favorite genre! But connected to Ernest Hemingway - one of my least favorite authors? Click " here " to open new page link to Amazon.
