National Geographic Traveller's the best books on European cities,
2019 In the autumn of 1948 Hemingway was approaching fifty and
hadn't published a novel in nearly a decade. He travelled for the
first time to Venice and there, at a duck shoot in the lagoon he
met and fell in love with Adriana Ivancich, a striking young
Venetian woman just out of finishing school. What followed was a
platonic love affair; he continued to visit her in Venice; she in
turn came to Cuba while he wrote The Old Man and the Sea. This is
the illuminating story of a writer and a muse that intimately
examines both the cost to Adriana and the fractured heart and
changing art of Hemingway in his fifties. 'Hemingway [is] an
enduringly fascinating character, one whom di Robilant, with his
easy-paced style, has sympathetically brought to life.' Literary
Review 'Effortlessly and expertly explores the secret desires,
successes, and depressive obstacles that shrouded Ernest
Hemingway's final productive years.' New York Journal of Books
