One of the great coming-of-age tales, now with a new introduction by Alice Winn, author of In Memoriam ‘Decades have passed since I first discovered A Separate Peace but its impact remains unforgettable. It's a deeply moving coming-of-age story, set against the backdrop of war’ M.L. Stedman, author of The Light Between Oceans In the uncertain early years of the second world war, two boys collide at a prestigious New England boarding school. Gene is a lonely, introverted intellectual. Phineas is a handsome, taunting, daredevil athlete. As they spiral into a fraught, intense friendship, a shocking act of violence will banish the innocence of these boys and their world forever. An American modern classic and perennial bestseller, A Separate Peace is a harrowing and luminous parable of the dark side of adolescence, and a haunting treatise on the horrors of war.

‘A model of restraint, deeply felt and beautifully written’ Observer ‘Exceptional power and distinction’ - The Times

‘A quietly vital and cleanly written novel that moves, page by page, toward a most interesting target’ - Truman Capote

‘A novel that made such a deep impression on me at sixteen that I can still conjure the atmosphere in my fifties: of yearning, infatuation mingled indistinguishably with envy, and remorse’ - Lionel Shriver
