A review by jazzypizzaz
Love and Ruin by Paula McLain

3.0

I had a hard time connecting to Martha, especially in the beginning she felt less like a full person and more like an attempt to color within the hazy outline of a person. Also, despite all the times I'm told Ernest was charismatic, this never came through in dialogue or descriptions -- instead he only ever seemed bland and petulant. This all led to little emotional investment in their relationship.

Martha led an interesting life however -- the portions during war as a correspondent were good and I always enjoyed the descriptions of the various international places she spent time in.
