The best-selling author ofThe Paris Wife returns to her fan-favorite subject, Ernest Hemingway, in a tale set on the eve of World War II that is inspired by his passionate, stormy marriage to a fiercely independent, ambitious young Martha Gellhorn, who would become one of the 20th century's leading war correspondents. Simultaneous. - Baker & Taylor
After falling in love while she covered the Spanish Civil War in Madrid, Martha Gellhorn is forced to choose between her marriage to Ernest Hemingway and her career as a war correspondent. - Random House, Inc.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ⢠The bestselling author of The Paris Wife brings to life the story of Martha Gellhornâa fiercely independent, ambitious woman ahead of her time, who would become one of the greatest war correspondents of the twentieth century.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post ⢠New York Public Library ⢠Bloomberg â¢Â Real Simple
In 1937, twenty-eight-year-old Martha Gellhorn travels alone to Madrid to report on the atrocities of the Spanish Civil War and becomes drawn to the stories of ordinary people caught in the devastating conflict. Itâs her chance to prove herself a worthy journalist in a field dominated by men. There she also finds herself unexpectedlyâand unwillinglyâfalling in love with Ernest Hemingway, a man on his way to becoming a legend.
On the eve of World War II, and set against the turbulent backdrops of Madrid and Cuba, Martha and Ernestâs relationship and careers ignite. But when Ernest publishes the biggest literary success of his career, For Whom the Bell Tolls, they are no longer equals, and Martha must forge a path as her own woman and writer.
Heralded by Ann Patchett as âthe new star of historical fiction,â Paula McLain brings Gellhornâs story richly to life and captures her as a heroine for the ages: a woman who will risk absolutely everything to find her own voice.
Praise for Love and Ruin
âIn this heart-tugging follow-up [to The Paris Wife], we meet Martha Gellhorn, a correspondent during the Spanish Civil War, who was the thirdâand perhaps most intriguingâof [Hemingway's] wives. The title says it all.ââPeople
âPropulsive . . . highly engaging . . . McLain does an excellent job portraying a woman with dreams who isnât afraid to make them real. . . . Her work around the world . . . is presented in meticulous, hair-raising passages. . . . The book is fueled by her questing spirit, which asks, Why must a woman decide between being a war correspondent and a wife in her husbandâs bed?ââThe New York Times Book Review
â[The] scenes of professional rivalry and seesawing imbalance are some of McLainâs best. . . . McLainâs legions of fans will relish the inspiration of a gutsy woman who discovers she doesnât need a man at her side, after all.ââThe Boston Globe
