[[Ernest Hemingway]]'s second novel, written in [[Point of View|first-person]] narration, published in 1929, and [[Write What You Know|semi-autobiographical]].
Frederic Henry, a volunteer American ambulance driver, serves in Italy during [[World War I]]. Whilst abroad, he meets British nurse [[Shallow Love Interest|Catherine Barkley]] and [[Hello, Nurse!|becomes attracted to her]]. He gets a chance to consummate his attraction to her after being wounded at the front and [[Florence Nightingale Effect|shipped back to hospital]]. By the end of the summer, Catherine is three months pregnant. Once healed, Frederic returns to the front just in time for it to collapse and the Austro-Hungarians to come pouring through; he, like the other officers, are rounded up by the "[[Secret Police|battle police]]" and [[You Have Failed Me...|executed for the defeat]]. Frederic escapes through some quick [[Badass|Bad Assery]] and reunites with Catherine, whereupon the two escape to Switzerland in a rowboat. There they maintain an isolated but idyllic existence until Catherine goes into labor. The baby is stillborn. Catherine hemorrhages and dies. The end.
Hemingway was [[True Art Is Angsty|not a happy man]].
