"A Farewell to Arms" is a classic novel by Ernest Hemingway, set during World War I. It's a poignant love story between an American ambulance driver and a British nurse in Milan, Italy. Hemingway's spare prose and exploration of the brutal realities of war and the power of love make it a timeless masterpiece.
The trip is all about being sociable and making new friends. Enjoying Milan with new people and sharing the experience with them.
Milan is a beautiful city that mixes the old and new together to create a vibrant modern city. Home of fashion and style, it is Italy at its my stylish.
Pasta and a glass of Italian wine or a Spritz in an Italian restaurant will be perfect for our book club meeting to discuss the book and what we have seen in Milan.
