Very good

the lead characters and the settings donot look unfamiliar but the delineation is as delightfully woven as ever; the irresistible urge to explore the contours of an impossible love and the constantly shifting scenes impart an unusual flavour.

After decades of reading the classic The Old Man and The Sea I chanced to relish this book by my fav Hemingway well.

Jake, the narrator, is impotent and in love with Brett Ashley, who is a—what was a female f***boy called in the 1920s? There is Robert Cohn, who wants Brett Ashley, Mike, who wants Brett Ashley, and Bill, who sort of just hangs around. Jake and Bill go to Pamplona, Spain to do some fishing and later reunite with Robert, Brett and Mike for the fiesta. This is the point where the book takes a sharp turn and transforms into a Spanish travelogue, with vivid details of the landscape and scenery, and that is the best part of the book. The plot? Doesn't really go anywhere. This is supposed to be a book about Americans, but it's really just about the elite living on old money in Europe, trying to make it big, but all they do is drink and complain about everything. Anyway, they meet Romero, a handsome Spanish bullfighter. Oh, and he wants Brett Ashley. Brett is engaged to Mike, but has a week-long affair with Cohn, and then an affair with Romero. Brett likes Jake but they can't be together. And that's it, that's the book. While I appreciate the descriptive writing and the dialogue, I wanted more. It seemed like a filler for a larger, better story. There was hardly any character development, and I couldn't feel an affinity for any of the characters apart from Jake. What I did feel, however, was a painful longing to visit Spain. That warrants a star. 2.5/5
