A French soldier named Henry Barbusse published one of the first novels about WW1, Le Feu, under fire: the story of a squad.

My name is Tricia Sulpizio & I am your host for another episode of tea & bedtime stories, a podcast for anyone who likes good books.

In this episode, we will continue reading A Farewell to Arms, a novel by Ernest Hemingway, published in 1929. Last time, we read chapter NINE in book ONE, & now I will continue the story with chapter TEN. After reading the chapter, I will follow up with quick facts & my impressions.

I look forward ...
