Novel by John Knowles, published in 1959. Book Description
Gene was a lonely, introverted intellectual. Phineas was a handsome, taunting,
daredevil athlete. What happened between them at school one summer during the early years
of World War II is the subject of A Separate Peace. A great bestseller for over
thirty years--one of the most starkly moving parables ever written of the dark forces that
brood over the tortured world of adolescence. |
