Ernest Hemingway · 1929 · War fiction
An American lieutenant driving ambulances for the Italian army during the First World War falls in love with a British nurse. The war is incompetent, the love is real, and Hemingway never lets you forget which is stronger than the other. A prose style so stripped down it taught the whole twentieth century how to write about grief.
