Once again recalling back to his days as ambulance driver or Red cross, Hemingway writes about war and how it affects the people around.
An ambulance driver for WW1 is making a recovery in a hospital filled with cutting edge machines for rehabilitation. Although he is making a recovery, he wonders about the purpose of life. He starts a friendship with a major whose wife has unexpectedly died. Through these conversations, Hemingway explores the pain of loss and whether it is worth it to love at all.
