Pont Neuf
Pont Neuf: One Woman, Two Soldiers, The End of the War | Max Byrd
6 posts | 6 read
Can a young war correspondent find herself and follow her heart? In this work of historical fiction, 20-something Annabella "Annie" March arrives in France in 1944 intending to write about the war. Soon, however, Annie begins to distance herself from her sometimes-mentor, sometimes-rival - the great Martha Gellhorn - and Gellhorn's larger-than-life husband, the novelist Ernest Hemingway. She turns to photography in the hopes of making her own name and, to her delight, discovers that images come more easily than words.
At a party one night, Gellhorn introduces Annie to a pair of American GIs: the intense, blue-eyed John Michael Shaw, from illustrious New England stock, and the handsome, good-natured Bennett Templeton Adams, a Midwestern boy-next-door. A love triangle between Annie and the two soldiers begins to simmer. As the war against the Axis Powers rages on, Shaw and Adams are called to duty. Shaw is a legend in the trenches, Adams a brilliant tactician, and neither can get Annie March out of his head.
Unbeknownst to Shaw and Adams, Annie has made up her mind - until a snap decision in the face of evil threatens to change everything for all three of them. Told with gripping emotional force and enthralling historical detail, Pont Neuf is an unforgettable story of desire and danger and a harrowing reminder of the uncertainty of war.

Mehso-so

This was a disappointment. The plot was lacking to say the least and the ending didn't feel like an ending. The one bright spot was the narrator. The narration saved the day because this book more than likely would have been a DNF otherwise. 2.5 - 3 ⭐

The splendidly gifted (and faintly scandalous) writer Martha Gellhorn, Hemingway‘s famously unhappy third wife, is the presiding spirit over a great romance. Two American soldiers, torn apart by the war, meet and fall in love with Martha‘s protégé—the irresistibly charming and vulnerable young reporter, Annie March.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ pleasantly surprised

I drove in circles for 3 hours today, listening to this off and in. I don‘t think it will be my favorite book, but I do sometimes like historical fiction. Settling in tonight with an amaretto sour 🍒 🍊 🍹

This is an ok somewhat short story about a journalist (who tangentially was a cohort of Martha Gellhorn) & her relationship with one of 2 Harvard friends serving in WWII. The narrator annoyed me early on; overdone. The conclusion, while emotional, wasn‘t quite the bombshell I was led to believe. #readingeurope2020 #Luxembourg. Will also work for #France and #Belgium
