Hemingway's Paris to Havana Cafe

Hemingway’s Paris to Havana Cafe is a gathering place for readers who crave stories with soul. Born from a lifelong love of art, Shakespeare, jazz, old Hollywood, history, and emotionally charged storytelling, this club brings together the worlds that shaped Hemingway himself—Parisian cafés, Havana nights, and the quiet corners where books change us.

We read the kind of novels that stay with you: historical fiction that digs deep, stories of resistance and survival, books set in wartime Paris, Havana in its golden age, 1920's through 1940s,  French Resistance, slavery, the great cities of Europe, and the unforgettable characters who fight, endure, and transform. We love literature that hits the heart, not just the mind—books that feel like living inside another life.

This club is built on connection, conversation, and the magic of reading together. It’s a place for people who journal their feelings, who annotate their lives, who enjoy the ritual of reading as much as the story itself. Here we share reflections, quotes that moved us, and the emotional punch that only great writing delivers. Emphasis on strong female leads / female writers 

Whether we’re wandering the Left Bank, stepping into a  Havana bar, or losing ourselves in a wartime love story, this is a space for readers who want more than a book discussion—they want an experience. 

Welcome to the Cafe. Let’s turn the page together. We also strongly encourage reading & journaling. Not mandatory but encouraged. We are currently voting on best meeting times (location Florida)
