A Farewell to Arms / Ernest Hemingway / 297 pages / November Challenge Deceased Authors

This American classic was a most informative, sad read.  Hemingway brings World War I to life, recounting the love between Lieutenant Henry, an American ambulance driver on the Italian front, and Kathryn Barkley, an English nurse.  Henry's relationships with fellow soldiers, his injury-recuperation/return to battle, and his desertion serve as a contrasting foil to his love affair with his nurse.  I couldn't help but picture Hemingway as I listened to this audio by John Slattery.  Hemingway himself was a  World War I ambulance driver.
