Ernest and Marcelline were inseparable throughout their early years, and Marcelline Hemingway Sanford presents a vivid and understanding portrait of the entire Hemingway family between 1898 and 1928 in At the Hemingways, which was first published in 1961. The correspondence between Ernest and Marcelline, which makes up the second part of this volume, has remained largely unpublished until Marcelline's children chose to collect the letters for this reprint edition in honor of the Centennials of Marcelline's and Ernest's births. This volume, with a new Foreword by renowned Hemingway scholar Michael Reynolds, also contains tributes written by Marcelline Hemingway Sanford's children. Twenty-five family photographs are reproduced in this edition, and an index has been added to enhance the value of the work for scholars and general readers.
The correspondence between Marcelline and Ernest is revealing -- at times humorous and warm with mutual caring and at times sad. The letters capture the closeness as well as the ultimate distance that came to separate brother and sister in adulthood. Here is Ernest Hemingway as a child, schoolboy, young man, and adult as seen through the eyes of the person closest to him during much of his life.
