serinatanjira 's review for:
A Farewell to Arms
by Ernest Hemingway
Hemingway paints a bleak picture of 1918 Italy during wartime. His characteristic rambling sentences take some getting used to, and his use of the N word made me pause and close the book twice in disbelief, but I chose to persevere…
What I appreciated and enjoyed about this book was a glimpse into a life, into a moment in time, that is so different to my own. The story and the emotions aroused from it are deeply human and the characters seem almost real. It’s bleak. It’s unsavoury at times. It’s scary. And spoiler, it’s fucking tragic.
