A Separate Peace
About the Book
A Separate Peace
Set at a boys’ boarding school in New England during the early years of World War II, A SEPARATE PEACE is a harrowing and luminous parable of the dark side of adolescence. 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.
A bestseller for more than thirty years, A SEPARATE PEACE is John Knowles’s crowning achievement and an undisputed American classic.
