USCB Lunch With Author Series ‘Specials’ Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife, is the featured author at the USCB Lunch With Author Special on MONDAY, February 18, 2013 at the Sea Pines Champion Ballroom at Harbourtown Conference Center. The Paris Wife is the story of Ernest Hemingway’s first wife, Hadley Richardson and it’s an unbelievably special novel. Paula says, “I first came to know Hadley in the pages of A Moveable Feast, Hemingway's remarkable memoir of his years in Paris. His reminiscences of Hadley were so moving that I decided to seek out biographies of her life. She's the perfect person to show us a side of Hemingway we've never seen before—tender, vulnerable, and very human—but she's also an extraordinary person in her own right. As for the book’s title, Hadley was actually fundamental to the rest of Hemingway’s life and career. He couldn’t have become the writer we know now without her influence.”
