Fiction Family Life
Summering with a fellow schoolboy on a great English estate,
Leo, the hero of L. P. Hartley's finest novel, encounters a
world of unimagined luxury. But when his friend's beautiful
older sister enlists him as the unwitting messenger in her
illicit love affair, the aftershocks will be felt for years.
The inspiration for the brilliant Joseph Losey/Harold Pinter
film starring Julie Christie and Alan Bates, The Go-Between
is a masterpiece—a richly layered, spellbinding story about
past and present, naiveté and knowledge, and the mysteries
of the human heart. This volume includes, for the first time
ever in North America, Hartley's own introduction to the novel.
