The only Hemingway books I’ve read are Old Man and The Sea and A Farewell to Arms. I didn’t vibe with the former, although I’m not convinced it had to with gender more so than age - I was a teenager with little appreciation for symbolism etc. The latter, however, made me bawl at the end. Not for the characters (has there ever been a flatter female character in fiction?), but the general injustice of it all.
