Description

Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn. A famous writer and a young, talented journalist. They met in Key West in 1936. Their friendship, built on letters, conversations, and family dinners, turns into a stormy romantic affair when they go together to Madrid to report on the Spanish Civil War. Martha is captivated by Hemingway’s talent, kindness, and passion. And he is captivated by her beauty, fearlessness, and ambition.

In their love there’s everything: friendship, rivalry, the pull of fame and power, the need for independence, and intellectual debates. And as Hemingway said to Martha, the strongest love stories are always set against the fury of war.

“Beautiful Exiles” is a magnificent novel about lovers and rivals, about the breathtaking attraction to glory, as well as about a woman ahead of her time who defends her identity on the ruins of love.
