Description

The Go-Between A young boy's loss of innocence unfolds in this haunting exploration of the boundaries of Edwardian society. When Leo stays with a school-friend at Brandham Hall, he becomes embroiled in a complex game of deceit and desire between Ted, the farmer, and Marian, the beautiful young woman up at the hall. As he navigates the treacherous world of adults, Leo's role brings him to a shocking and premature revelation. This beautifully wrought novel is a poignant and painful exploration of the secrets that lie beyond the innocence of childhood. With its evocative portrayal of a bygone era, The Go-Between is a story that will linger long after the final page is turned. Edited with an introduction and notes by Douglas Brooks-Davies, this edition of The Go-Between offers a unique insight into the author's work.
