Beautiful Exiles

Description

From New York Times bestselling creator Meg Waite Clayton comes a riveting novel based on one of the crucial volatile and intoxicating real-life love affairs of the twentieth century.

Key West, 1936. Headstrong, accomplished journalist Martha Gellhorn is confident with words but less so with men when she meets disheveled literary titan Ernest Hemingway in a dive bar. Their friendship—forged over writing, talk, and circle of relatives dinners—flourishes into something undeniable in Madrid whilst they’re covering the Spanish Civil War.

Martha reveres him. The very married Hemingway is taken with Martha—her beauty, her ambition, and her fearless spirit. And as Hemingway tells her, the most powerful love stories are at all times set against the fury of war. The risks are such a lot greater. They’re made for each and every other.

With their romance unfolding as they shuttle the globe, Martha establishes herself as one of the crucial world’s foremost war correspondents, and Hemingway begins the novel a good way to win him the Nobel Prize for Literature. Beautiful Exiles is a stirring story of lovers and rivals, of the breathless attraction to power and fame, and of one woman—ahead of her time—claiming her own identity from the wreckage of love.
