I had it in my luggage when I was returning to the Caribbean, but unfortunately, this place only gave me the case and nothing inside, or I would have lent it to you.
It's about a expatriate lieutenant and his love affair with an English nurse during World War I. It sounds bland by that alone, but it's a good book.
[He smiles a bit.]
There's an Italian army priest in it who talks to the main character about God and war. You might enjoy it.

Well, I don't know if I want to behave as if I'll be here for a long time, but...you think they'd grant a wish like that?
no subject
I should probably ask them for a library rather than a single novel. [He laughs.] The virtual reality room just isn't the same.
no subject
[A huff.]
True, true. Hey, if you had to choose a single novel to have, which would it be?
no subject
That's a tough question. There are so many good books. But... A Farewell to Arms perhaps.

Sounds like something I'll have to check out! Well...whenever we get out of this mess.

Understandable. [He extends his hand again.] It was a pleasure meeting you, Mister Cervantes.
[He is aware Hansa did not talk much about himself, but doesn't seem bothered at all by it.]
I hope you don't mind working together for Mister Won's benefit.
