The novel is a perfect example of the human cost of war. The Story follows a young American serving in the Italian army, who falls for an English girl, but because of the war they are separated and must suffer the pain separation. The novel explores the themes of love, war, suffering, and sacrifice.
 A smooth start at the beginning, we can see the early glimpses of Hemingway's masterful narration.
