A Farewell To Arms by Ernest Hemingway

An American ambulance driver serving on the Italian front during World War I falls into a passionate, sheltering affair with a British nurse; their love offers brief reprieve from the brutality and bureaucratic indifference of war, but wounds, desertion, and the impossibility of lasting safety follow. After seeking refuge in neutral Switzerland, the couple’s hopes are crushed by the stillbirth of their child and the nurse’s death in childbirth, leaving him alone to reckon with loss, disillusionment, and the human cost of conflict.
