After Love and Ruin, Paula McClain is one of my very favorite writers. Her last three books have been so solid. She does women right!

In reply to susan. You're welcome, Susan. Isn't it nice when an author is so solid and such a brilliant storyteller?

We felt about the same for this book- although Hemingway may have bugged me more, which is true of anything too male-centric these days!

I loved her thoughts on writing! I highlighted so many of them. I imagine they are McLain’s thoughts as well because her writing must take a tremendous amount of work.

Excellent! So glad you liked this one. It sounds right up my alley and I plan to get to it this spring. Actually can’t wait. The subjects/people McLain writes about — are always so enticing to read about. I liked Circling the Sun a lot so I think I will like this one as well. thx for the report.

In reply to Jan. I agree and the material in the back about her was so interesting.

In reply to Sarah's Book Shelves. Don't worry about it! We can't feel the same about all books.

Terrific review and breakdown for what did and didn’t work for you. I really enjoyed learning about Martha – what a woman!

I think I’m the only person this didn’t work for 🙁
