Who the Bell Tools by Gwen Hemmingway

Hemmingway spent a lot of time at la flore dita. He had been disgusted when a Parisian friend allowed his cats to eat from the table table but he became enamored of cats in cuba and kept dozens of them on the property. The descendants of those cats live at the key west home rather famously. His book for whom the bell tools sold half a million copies within months and was nominated for a Pulitzer prize.
