Climbing the small stairs to his outside separate study it was great to see the place where he created so much of his work. The Hemingway house, a French colonial style house built in 1851, did not disappoint for it is a beautiful house on Whitehead Street, close to the lighthouse and to the water where Hemingway loved to sail and fish. I am always curious and fascinated by great writer’s homes as they provide a glimpse into their lives. Hemingway was a winner of both the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (1953) and the Nobel Prize in Literature (1954). In Key West I visited the home of one of America’s greatest writers Ernest Hemingway –a literary hero of mine ever since I first read ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ when I was a teenager. Everywhere we travelled was paradise,surrounded by water and nature, so it was the perfect place for a great holiday. ![]() Taking a break from a busy book schedule it was great to escape to the stunning beauty of the Florida Keys and chill out in Key Largo, Islamorada and Key West. ![]()
