I have just joined an on-line book club and our latest read has been "Love and Ruin" by Paula Mclain.
The book deals with the relationship between Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn, two successful writers working around the time of WW2 and beyond. Told predominantly with Martha's voice it outlines how their relationship develops and implodes as she struggles to gain recognition for her writing while being overshadowed by the fame of Hemingway. I enjoyed the book and admired her courage as a reporter in several war zones and her desire to be independent.
