In the last chapter, the expected baby is born but dead and so is Catherine. She had a hemorrage and a doctor couldn't stop it. Henry feels sad and walks to the hotel. The end.
I thought the ending is really sad. There is no salvation. No hope whatsoever. Henry has nothing left to cherish. I mean he really depeneds on Catherine. Catherine is the most important thing in his life. He is crazy for her. I don't see how he's going to recover from her death. But then he has been always cool about everything before he meets her so I think now that nothing keeps him in the back, he is just going to back to the front to work if he can. Or maybe he goes back to the US.
Some themes are the war, friendships, loyalty and glory in the war and love. The war was really painful. Everyone hates it. Rinaldi hates it too. The friendship saves him many times. Many people helped him when he is on escape from police. The loyalty and the glory of the war is constantly brought up in the book. Some people value and some people don't. Love has ended in the ruin. Henry loves Catherine but the life gets kind of boring. Moreover, he has no love for his child. Just kind of feel sad. Then Catherine is dead so...really love is as much sad as the war.
