Paula McLain

Paula McLain’s luminous bestseller The Paris Wife swept readers away into Jazz Age Paris, as imagined through the eyes of Hadley Richardson, whose marriage to Ernest Hemingway buckled under the pressure of fame and infidelity.  McLain didn’t expect to return to Hemingway’s life for another story — but in the great journalist Martha Gellhorn, whose volatile and passionate relationship with Hemingway became the stuff of literary legend, she found a character she couldn’t resist.  McLain joins B&N’s Miwa Messer to talk about the exclusive B&N edition of her captivating new novel Love and Ruin.
