John Knowles is also the author of Peace Breaks Out
Gene was a lonely, introverted intellectual. Phineas was a hansome, taunting, daredevil athlete. What happened between them at school one summer during the early years of World War II is the subject of a Separate Peace. A great bestseller for over twenty years-- one of the most starkly moving parables ever written of the dark forces that brood over the tortured world of adolescence.
"I think it is the best-written, best-designed and most moving novel I have read in many years. Beginning with a tiny incident among ordinary boys, it ends by being as deep and as big as evil itself."
-Aubrey Menen
