JOHN KNOWLES - GEBRAUCHT A SEPARATE PEACE (AMER...

AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4 ' A GOOD READ'     ' A novel that made such a deep impression
on me at sixteen that I can still conjure the atmosphere in my fifties: of yearning 
infatuation mingled indistinguishably with envy  and remorse'  Lionel Shriver    An American
coming-of-age tale during a period when the entire country was losing its innocence to the
second world war.    Set at a boys'  boarding school in New England during the early years
of World War II  A Separate Peace is a harrowing and luminous parable of the dark side of
adolescence. Gene is a lonely  introverted intellectual. Phineas is a handsome  taunting 
daredevil athlete.   What happens between the two friends one summer  like the war itself 
banishes the innocence of these boys and their world.
