The Wildest Sun
When tragedy forces Delphine Auber, an aspiring writer on the cusp of adulthood, from her home in postwar Paris, she seizes the opportunity to embark on the journey sheās long dreamed of: finding the father she has never known. But her questāspanning from Paris to New Yorkās Harlem, to Havana and Key Westāis complicated by the fact that she believes him to be famed luminary Ernest Hemingway, a man just as elusive as he is iconic. She desperately yearns for his approval, as both a daughter and a writer, convinced that he holds the key to who sheās truly meant to be. But what will happen if she is wrong, or if her real story falls outside of the legend of her parentage that sheās revered all her life?
The Wildest Sun is a dazzling, unexpected, and transportive story about coming into adulthoodāfrom escaping our pasts, to the stories we tell ourselves, to the ambition that drives usāas we seek to find out who we are.
