Ernest Hemingway novel (1,8,2,4)

I believe the answer is:

a farewell to arms

(Other definitions for a farewell to arms that I've seen before include "what one handing in weapon might say" , "What Venus de Milo might have said" , "valediction from the Venus de Milo?" , "Book" , "Bookshop may sell this" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
