In 1937, courageous and independent Martha Gellhorn travels to
Madrid to report on the atrocities of the Spanish Civil War, and
finds herself drawn to the stories of ordinary people caught in
devastating conflict. She also finds herself unexpectedly - and
uncontrollably - falling in love with Ernest Hemingway, a man
already on his way to being a legend. In the shadow of the
impending Second World War, and set against the tumultuous
backdrops of Madrid, Finland, China, and especially Cuba, where
Martha and Hemingway made their home, their relationship and
professional careers ignite. But when Hemingway publishes the
biggest literary success of his career, they are no longer equals,
and Martha must make a choice: surrender to the suffocating demands
of a domestic lifestyle, or risk losing her husband by forging her
way as her own woman and writer. It is a dilemma that will force
her to break his heart, and her own. Based on a true story Martha
Gellhorn was one of the greatest war correspondents of the 20th
century FOR WHOM THE BELLS TOLLS was dedicated to Martha, and
inspired by the time they were together in Spain. It was
Hemingway's most successful book to date, it sold half a million
copies within months, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, and
triumphantly reestablished his literary reputation
