Critics Review
McLain brings forth the deepest, most ringing elements of both ‘love and ruin’, the two poles of Marty and Ernest’s tempestuous relationship, a ferocious contest between two brilliant, wilful, and intrepid writers. McLain’s fast-moving, richly insightful, heartwrenching, and sumptuously written tale pays exhilarating homage to its truly exceptional and significant inspiration - Booklist, starred review

McLain brings her to life in this deeply romantic study of a doomed relationship - The Times on The Paris WifeAbout The Author
