Giveaway: Hemingway's Girl by Erika Robuck

Hemingway's Girl was my favorite book that I've read so far this year. In fact, I loved it so much, that I decided to offer an extra copy for a giveaway. Thank you to the publisher for giving me an extra copy for a giveaway. You can read my review of Hemingway's Girl here.

Synopsis:
“She remembered when Hemingway had planted a banyan at his house and told her its parasitic roots were like human desire. At the time she’d thought it romantic. She hadn’t understood his warning.”

In Depression-era Key West, Mariella Bennet, the daughter of an American fisherman and a Cuban woman, knows hunger. Her struggle to support her family following her father’s death leads her to a bar and bordello, where she bets on a risky boxing match...and attracts the interest of two men: world-famous writer, Ernest Hemingway, and Gavin Murray, one of the WWI veterans who are laboring to build the Overseas Highway.

When Mariella is hired as a maid by Hemingway’s second wife, Pauline, she enters a rarified world of lavish, celebrity-filled dinner parties and elaborate off-island excursions. As she becomes caught up in the tensions and excesses of the Hemingway household, the attentions of the larger-than-life writer become a dangerous temptation...even as the reliable Gavin Murray draws her back to what matters most. Will she cross an invisible line with the volatile Hemingway, or find a way to claim her own dreams? As a massive hurricane bears down on Key West, Mariella faces some harsh truths...and the possibility of losing everything she loves.

  8. I saw Hemingway's Girl today at Barnes & Noble in the new paperback section. I would LOVE to read this book. Love the time period plus how it mixes fiction with Earnest Hemingway. :) Have you read The Paris Wife by Paula McLain? It is good too and mixes fiction with "Hemingway." :) I am following your blog via GFC/Beverly S.

    Thanks for your giveaway. Crossing my fingers, toes and eyes (ouch) for this one. :) It's the perfect time of year to head outside with a good "new" book. :)
