A Farewell To Arms is a historical fiction novel that portrays the life of a soldier during and after World War I. The story takes place during the Italian campaign, and the main character is lieutenant Frederick Henry who falls in love with an English nurse, Catherine Barkley. However, everything starts to change after Catherine gives the news of her pregnancy.
 
I found  this novel to be a great combination of mystery, war and love with a clear and engaging narrative. The target audience will likely be  from Grade 10 to 12 as it has a fairly mature writing style. This novel could also be a good choice for readers who enjoy historical fiction.
