A life of journalist, novelist, and one-time wife of Ernest Hemingway Martha Gellhorn.
Reviews with the most likes.
Rather amazing life–Gellman was a war reporter for decades, from WW1 through Vietnam, as well as a writer of fiction. And, btw, married to Hemingway for only 5 of those years.
Side note: What I find odd, and somewhat disturbing, in reading about Hemingway and his wives (just one to go–Mary) is how casually they all leave their children with nannies or caretakers, often for weeks or months at a time. The adult children report that this was as distressing as one might think.
