Description
Between Boy and Man by Peter Farquhar is a thought-provoking novel set in a contemporary public school. The story revolves around the complex relationships between the school's Chaplain and a gifted but unreliable pupil, who is later dropped from the First XI football team. The pupil's reaction to this decision sets off a chain of events that exposes the tensions between the school's authorities and the prevailing climate of political correctness. As the plot unfolds, the central character grapples with his Christian faith and his homo-erotic impulses, leading to a pivotal exploration of inner conflict and the consequences of unchecked emotions.
