"Munro is very good at evoking a sense of place and her psychological acuity is razor-sharp."

Is this ok for A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway?

"Headgear and Horses: Authorial Presence in
A Farewell to Arms
Miriam B. Mandel, Tel Aviv University
The many excellences of A Farewell To Arms—the poetic language, the strong sense of place, the control of rhythm and pace, the tension created by the retrospec- tive first-person narration, the symbolic use of natural elements, the masterful end- ing—have been justly praised by the critics."
