Literary Classics
Rating: 4.3
Jake Barnes is a man whose war wound has made him unable to have sex–and the promiscuous divorcée Lady Brett Ashley.

The novel is a roman à clef: the characters are based on real people in Hemingway’s circle, and the action is based on real events, particularly Hemingway’s life in Paris in the 1920s and a trip to Spain in 1925 for the Pamplona festival and fishing in the Pyrenees. #ad
