About the Book

Amid the rubble of a city blasted by a civil war that many fear will cross borders and
engulf Europe, the Hotel Florida on Madrid's chic Gran Via has become a haven for
foreign journalists and writers. It is here that six people meet and find their lives
changed forever.
Ernest Hemingway, his career stalled, his marriage sour, hopes that this war will give
him fresh material and a new romance; Martha Gellhorn, an ambitious young journalist
hungry for love and experience, thinks she will find both with Hemingway in Spain.
Robert Capa and Gerda Taro, idealistic and ground-breaking young photographers
based in Paris, want to capture history in the making and are inventing moder
photojournalism in the process. And Arturo Barea, chief of the Republican government’s
foreign press office, and Ilsa Kulcsar, his Austrian deputy, are struggling to balance
truth-telling with their loyalty to their sometimes-compromised cause - a struggle that
places both of their lives at risk.
Hotel Florida traces the tangled wartime destinies of these three couples - and a host of
supporting characters - living as intensely as they had ever done, against the backdrop
of a critical moment in history. It is a narrative of love and reinvention that is, finally, a
story about truth, finding it, telling it - and living it, whatever the cost.

Reviews
"A highly original and beautifully written account of the intrepid – and sometimes crazy –
journalists who risked everything to report on the Spanish Civil War. Amanda Vaill has
produced a work that is by turns gripping and heartbreaking, and utterly compelling" -
Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana and A World on Fire
"Fascinating ... A valiant job of pulling together so many disparate stories into a
fascinating contemporaneous narrative, of why people believed things when they did.
Inevitably Hemingway has all the best lines ... Vaill does a good job of showing how this
mixture of ambition and conviction drives her characters onwards ... A timely reminder
that there is nothing more important than telling the truth" - Daisy Goodwin, Sunday
Times
