"Whether or not you're a history buff, you'll be fully immersed in Vaill's chronicle of the band of journalists--including Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn--who covered the upheaval of the Spanish Civil War."--Entertainment Weekly

Madrid, 1936. In a city blasted by civil war, six people meet and find their lives changed forever. Ernest Hemingway, his career stalled, his marriage sour, hopes this war will give him fresh material and new romance; Martha Gellhorn, an ambitious novice journalist hungry for love and experience, thinks she will find both with Hemingway in Spain. Robert Capa and Gerda Taro, idealistic young photographers based in Paris, are inventing modern photojournalism as they capture history in the making. And Arturo Barea, Madrid's foreign press chief, and Ilsa Kulcsar, his Austrian deputy, are struggling to balance truth-telling with loyalty to their sometimes compromised cause--a struggle that places both of them in peril. Hotel Florida traces the tangled wartime destinies of these three couples against the backdrop of a critical moment in history.
From the raw material of unpublished letters and diaries, official documents, and recovered reels of film, Amanda Vaill has created a narrative of love and reinvention that is, finally, a story about truth: finding it out, telling it, and living it--whatever the cost.

Handy for storing fresh produce
The stacking baskets are as advertised. Easy to assemble without instructions. A little wobbly as expected but is sturdy enough; even better once propped in a corner. As with most things, it can last for quite a while if handled with care. Measurements are accurate. At 38" tall, I knew that the set of 4 baskets would have towered 2" above my countertop (36"). Now, I think that the set of 3 would have worked just fine at about 29" tall. I like that this can fit in such a tiny 12" floor space and I am able to reclaim some much needed counter space. Talk about uncluttered! Overall this was a good buy but I do think that it is a bit overpriced.

Very firm to be placed on counter top. Baskets have enough space to store onions, fruits etc. Fair price as well.

Better Have Counter Space
Purchased with the idea to reduce counter clutter and have central location of fruits and vegetables. The idea behind the stacking basket bins is fine, but with limited counter space, it just seems to add to the clutter. I am also only able to use the bottom plate and one basket as stacking height would extend high enough to block cabinet doors. Good idea, but not for those with limited counter space and or lower cabinet clearance. Check measurements and counter space.

Excellent product
I was looking for onion and potato storage and I am very happy to find this. Even though item made with plastic material, it is very sturdy and easy to assemble. I store 3 bags of onions( costco bags) and a potato bag. I have very small and narrow space for onions and potato storage, and this stackable baskets are perfect .
