One of the great coming-of-age tales, now with a new introduction by Alice Winn, author of In Memoriam ‘Decades have passed since I first discovered A Separate Peace but its impact remains unforgettable. It’s a deeply moving coming-of-age story, set against the backdrop of war’ M.L. Stedman, author of The Light Between Oceans In the uncertain early years of the second world war, two boys collide at a prestigious New England boarding school.
Gene is a lonely, introverted intellectual. Phineas is a handsome, taunting, daredevil athlete. As they spiral into a fraught, intense friendship, a shocking act of violence will banish the innocence of these boys and their world forever.
