NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The bestselling author of The Paris Wife brings to life the story of Martha Gellhorn—a fiercely independent, ambitious woman ahead of her time, who would become one of the greatest war correspondents of the twentieth century. 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. It’s her chance to prove herself a worthy journalist in a field dominated by men. There she also finds herself unexpectedly—and unwillingly—falling in love with Hemingway, a man on his way to becoming a legend. On the eve of War World War II, and set against the turbulent backdrops of Madrid and Cuba, Martha and Ernest’s relationship and their professional 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 “the new star of historical fiction,” Paula McLain brings Gellhorn’s 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 “In this heart-tugging follow-up [to The Paris Wife], we meet Martha Gellhorn, a correspondent during the Spanish Civil War, who was the third—and perhaps most intriguing—of [Hemingway's] wives. The title says it all.”—People “Propulsive . . . highly engaging . . . McLain does an excellent job portraying a woman with dreams who isn’t 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 husband’s bed?”—The New York Times Book Review “[The] scenes of professional rivalry and seesawing imbalance are some of McLain’s best. . . . McLain’s legions of fans will relish the inspiration of a gutsy woman who discovers she doesn’t need a man at her side, after all.”—The Boston Globe

Don't you sort of hate how we have entered the decadent period of Goodreads where perhaps fifty % (or more) of the reviews written by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now naked and unabashed within their variously successful efforts at being arch, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Do not you sort of pine (secretly, in the marrow of your gut's merry druthers) for the good ol'days of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all evaluations were evenly plainspoke Don't you type of hate how we've joined the decadent period of Goodreads where possibly fifty % (or more) of the reviews compiled by non-teenagers and non-romancers are actually nude and unabashed within their variously successful attempts at being posture, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Do not you sort of pine (secretly, in the marrow of one's gut's merry druthers) for the nice ol'times of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all evaluations were consistently plainspoken, merely practical, unpretentious, and -- most importantly otherwise -- dull, boring, dull? Do not you sort of hate when people state'don't you believe this way or sense that way'in an endeavor to goad you both psychologically and grammatically into agreeing using them? In the language of ABBA: I really do, I really do, I do(, I really do, I do). Properly, since the interwebs is a world by which the past stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the current (and with fetish porn), we are able to review yesteryear in their inviolable presentness anytime we wish. Or at the very least till this site eventually tanks. Contemplate (won't you?) Matt Nieberle's report on Macbeth in their entirety. I have bound it with huge rope and pulled it here for the perusal. (Please realize that several a sic are intended in these reviews.) its really complex and stupid! why cant we be examining like Romeo and Juliet?!?! at the very least that guide is great! There you've it. Refreshingly, not really a review written in one of many witch's comments or alluding to Hillary and Bill Clinton or discussing the reviewer's first period. Just a primal scream unleashed into the black wilderness of the cosmos.Yes, Mr. Nieberle is (probably) a teenager, but I admire his power to strongarm the temptation to be clever or ironic. (Don't you?) He speaks the native language of the idk generation by having an economy and a quality that renders his convictions all the more emphatic. Here's MICHAEL's review of the same play. You may'know'MICHAEL; he's the'Problems Architect'at Goodreads. (A problematic title itself in that it implies he designs problems... that will be the case, for all I know.) This book shouldn't be required reading... reading plays that you never want to see is awful. Reading a play kinda sucks to start with, if it had been meant to be read, then it will be a novel, not really a play. Along with that the teach had us students see the play aloud (on person for every single character for a couple pages). None of us had see the play before. None of us wanted to read it (I made the mistake of taking the'easy'english class for 6 years). The teacher picked students that appeared as if they weren't paying attention. All of this compounded to produce me virtually hate reading classics for something such as 10 years (granted macbeth alone wasn't the problem). I also hate iambic pentameter. Pure activism there. STOP the mandatory reading of plays. It's wrong, morally and academically. Plus it can actually fuck up your GPA. There's no wasteful extravagance in this editorial... no fanfare, no fireworks, no linked photos of half-naked, oiled-up, big-bosomed starlets, no invented dialogues between the author and the review-writer. It's simple and memorable. Being required to see plays is wrong, and in the event that you require anyone, under duress, to learn a play then you definitely have sinned and are going to hell, if you believe in hell. Or even, you're going to the DMV. I am also fed up with whatever you smug spelling snobs. You damnable fascists together with your new-fangled dictionaries and your fancy-schmancy spell check. Sometimes the passionate immediacy of an email overcomes its spelling limitations. Also, in this age once we are taught to respect each other's differences, this indicates offensively egocentric and mean-spirited you may anticipate others tokowtow for your petty linguistic rules. Inventive concept will probably no cost by itself regardless of how you try so that you can shackle it. Which is the sign, Aubrey. With my very own thoughts and opinions, the actual engage in Macbeth has been a worste peice previously written by Shakespeare, this also is saying quite a lot taking into consideration i additionally go through the Romeo and Juliet. Ontop of it really is witout a doubt incredible piece, impractical characters as well as absolutly discusting group of morals, Shakespeare overtly portrays Lovely lady Macbeth because the legitimate vilian inside play. Considering jane is mearly your words inside a corner game along with Macbeth themselves will be truely enacting the actual gruesome offenses, like murder along with scams, I don't realize why it's so effortless to visualize of which Macbeth would probably be willing to perform excellent rather then nasty only when his or her spouse were more possitive. I do believe until this participate in is uterally unrealistic. Yet the examples below is definitely a ne furthermore extremely involving typical book reviewing. Though succinct and also with virtually no unproductive trend to coyness and also cuteness, Jo's evaluate alludes into a animosity so outstanding it is inexpressible. One particular imagines a couple of Signet Basic Updates compromised so that you can portions using pruning shears inside Jo's vicinity. I dislike this particular play. A case in point that will I can't even provide you with any kind of analogies or even similes with regards to the amount of I actually dislike it. A great incrementally snarkier sort will often have reported a little something like...'I don't really like the following have fun with just like a simile I won't arise with.' Never Jo. The girl addresses the raw, undecorated truth unsuitable to get figurative language. And also there's certainly nothing wrong having that. When around an incredible though, when you're getting neck-deep in dandified pomo hijinks, it is a nice wallow in the hog dog pen you might be itchin'for. Thank you, Jo. I really like both you and your in vain clasping on similes this are unable to strategy your bilious hatred as part of your heart. You are my verizon prepaid phone, along with We're yours. Figuratively communicating, of course. And after this the following is this assessment: Macbeth by means of William Shakespeare is the foremost fictional deliver the results inside English language vocabulary, in addition to anyone who disagrees can be an asshole and a dumbhead.
