Paula McLain is the author of the New York Times and internationally bestselling novels The Paris Wife and Circling the Sun. She now introduces her latest title, Love and Ruin, which returns to the subject of Ernest Hemingway in a novel about his passionate, stormy marriage to Martha Gellhorn—a fiercely independent, ambitious young woman who would become one of the greatest war correspondents of the twentieth century. Paula received her MFA in poetry from the University of Michigan in 1996, and she lives with her children in Cleveland, Ohio.
