Ms McLain takes us along from their initial meeting while Martha is on family vacation in Key West following the death of her father, to the Spanish Civil War where Hemmingway has encouraged her to follow him as her mentor and wastes no time making her his lover. Their life together in the lushness of Cuba, to the vastness wilderness of Wyoming. I found the story of this relationship to be a tumultuous journey of passion, love, and personal and professional jealous between two childish, selfish, volatile people which could only end exactly as it does.
Ms McLain is a beautiful writer of great talent. I only wish she could find more likeable characters to bring to life.
