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. A bestseller for more than thirty years, //A Separate Peace// is John Knowles’s crowning achievement and an undisputed American classic. ~ **Amazon.com** ~
