Separate Peace, A

$16.00
Set at a boys' boarding school in New England during the early years of World War II, this is a harrowing and luminous parable of the dark side of male adolescence. Gene and Phineas are roommates that form a complex bond of friendship. 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. Their friendship draws out both the best and worst characteristics of each boy and leads ultimately to violence, a confession, and the betrayal of trust.
