The Wildest Sun (2023)
Asha Lemmie
"The Wildest Sun is a gripping portrait of the artist as a young woman that lays bare the complexities of family trauma, fraught inheritance, and creative ambition. While chasing the famous father whom she views as a lodestar across oceans and time in the post-WWII years, the protagonist Delphine Auber Hemingway must ultimately learn that she, too, shines. With a deeply satisfying ending revealing of life's core truths, The Wildest Sun shows how even amid personal loss and political tumult, art can be a life companion, loyal to the end."
