Sal Balistreri asked Paula McLain:

Hi Paula, Just completed reading Love and Ruin. Loved both that book and The Paris Wife. What do you suggest I read of your books next since I truly enjoyed both books? Enjoy your writing style. Thank you,

Paula McLain Hello, Sal, and please do forgive the shocking delay in my response to your question! If it's not too late to respond, my favorite of my own books (shhh) is Circling the Sun, which is set in colonial Kenya, and plumbs the life of aviator and adventurer Beryl Markham. I hope you''ll think to check it out one day. In the meantime, thank you for reading my work and for thinking to be in touch. It really does mean a lot! Yours with warm wishes, Paula

Ma. Patricia Vien asked Paula McLain:

Dearest Ms. Paula ♥ I don't know how to express it clearly but I am moved by your novel The Paris Wife. In the end, I found myself crying and crying and crying and scared and in love. It is all so new yet so familiar. It felt like I've been good friends with Hem and Hadley and that somehow our lives have crossed. It is poignant and raw. You gave so much life to the characters and everything seemed real. Thank you!? ♥

Sue asked Paula McLain:

Paula, I just finished and loved "Love and Ruin" which was a Goodreads Giveaway. With atlas in hand, I followed Hemmingway and Gellhorn through their European travels. Historical fiction is better than classroom study. Don't stop writing. What's next?
