I watched "The Purple Rose of Cairo" (1985) a few days ago. The movie takes place during the depression in New Jersey. Only someone like Woody Allen could invent such a clever and creative plot......movie characters leaving the screen and joining the real world. Loved it!!
As for books, I am just starting chapter one of "The Paris Wife" written by Paula McLain.....a fictional novel about Ernest Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley, during the 1920s. I have a hunch I will enjoy it.
Both "The Purple Rose of Cairo" and "The Paris Wife" were recommended to me by my sister. I guess I've been busy snoozing under a rock, because I was unfamiliar with both.
Would love to hear your reviews.

Can't wait to read The Paris Wife.
I've not read either of those, but they sound very interesting. Will look out for them.

I never heard of either before, but the movie sounds like something I'd really be interested in. I love learning about that time period, and having grown up in NJ, it's very close to home.
Thanks for sharing the information.
