Title: It's what's not said
Review: Great ending...left to the imagination of the reader. Hemmingway does that a lot in this book. Lays down a scene, but does not complete it. Lets the reader imagine how it plays out.Very accessible book. Puts the reader into the scenes with excellent, very detailed descriptions. And the characters are human...not perfect...not overdone.Quick summary: An American spanish teacher from Montana is engaged to contribute to the Spanish civil war effort by bombing a bridge. He recruits a randy band of freedom fighters who are hiding out in a cave to assist. In the four days leading up to the bombing, he makes friends, makes enemies, falls in love, and eventually gets the job done, even though in the end he's not sure how he's contributing to the cause.
