From New York Times bestselling author Meg Waite
Clayton comes a riveting novel based on one of the most
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
family dinners—flourishes into something undeniable in
Madrid while 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 always set against the fury of war. The risks are so
much greater. They’re made for each other. With their romance unfolding as they travel the globe,
Martha establishes herself as one of the world’s foremost
war correspondents, and Hemingway begins the novel that will
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.
