DESCRIPTION:In 1937, twenty-eight-year-old Martha Gellhorn travels alone t
 o Madrid to report on the atrocities of the Spanish Civil War and becomes 
 drawn to the stories of ordinary people caught in the devastating conflict
 . It's the adventure she's been looking for and her chance to pr
 ove herself a worthy journalist in a field dominated by men. But she also 
 finds herself unexpectedly--and uncontrollably--falling in love with Hemin
 gway, a man on his way to becoming a legend.In the shadow of the impending
  Second World War, and set against the turbulent backdrops of Madrid and C
 uba, Martha and Ernest's relationship and their professional careers 
 ignite. But when Ernest publishes the biggest literary success of his care
 er, For Whom the Bell Tolls, they are no longer equals, and Martha must ma
 ke a choice: surrender to the confining demands of being a famous man&#039
 ;s wife or risk losing Ernest by forging a path as her own woman and write
