A Farewell to Arms, Ernest Hemingway

It’s been awhile since my last book review, and I honestly cannot remember the books I’ve read recently.  However, that might be because I haven’t done a lot of reading lately.  One book I did read lately was Ernest Hemingway’s novel, A Farewell to Arms.  It is the story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front, who falls in love with an English nurse during World War I.  The gruesome descriptions of the horrible events that were happening all over really bring a sense of reality to the story.  The romanticism that Hemingway brings to life brings a new realization of relationships between people way back when.  We had to read it for school, and it might not be everyone’s cup of tea.  However, the frank portrayal of the characters and what was endured during World War I provides us a timeless look into the past.
