## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Brilliant. Fascinating period in history and fascinating relationship. Five star read
  

*by K***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 September 2019*

I really enjoyed The Paris Wife and this novel was equally compelling, fascinating and full of wonderful characters. It is mesmerising and McLain's ability to capture place, historical setting and social settings means the reader always feel as if they are there, caught up within the story. Set in the Spanish Civil War, the novel begins at an exciting moment in history - made more so by the fact the main character is a woman and a woman who is longing for adventure and travel. Martha Gellhorn is an inspiring character - a strong and brave woman who then falls in love with the charismatic yet tempestuous Ernest Hemingway. I really enjoyed the conflict, dilemmas and emotional blackmail between the two of them as they fall in hopelessly in love, yet as both their writing careers flourish are faced with constant comparisons - particularly for Martha - which creates tension between them. Martha is a truly inspiring character. Her constant pull between her love for Ernest and the passion for her career and writing give the novel depth and further interest. McLain has clearly researched these characters in detail and I felt like I learned a lot from reading this. It was thoroughly enjoyable and probably my favourite read this summer. Highly recommend.

    Excellent read.
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 February 2021*

Excellent read. I think the cover and title are deceptive  as they make it sound like a lightweight romance but it is much deeper than that.
