I read this seven years ago and still think about parts of this book -- especially the part where he was pretty much living with with his wife as well as another woman at the same time.
I followed this book up by reading Ernest Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast" a few month later -- since the story was just too intriguing. It was his take of these same years in Paris. The two books complement each other well.

An excellent read. True to the historical material. I enjoyed this book from the first page to the last. My sister read it years ago and recommend it to me and I can't believe it took me so long. A must read for the historical fiction reader.
