Om denne bog

The moving exploration of a young boy''s loss of innocence

''The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there...''


When one long, hot summer, young Leo is staying with a school-friend at Brandham Hall, he begins to act as a messenger between Ted, the farmer, and Marian, the beautiful young woman up at the hall. He becomes drawn deeper and deeper into their dangerous game of deceit and desire, until his role brings him to a shocking and premature revelation. The haunting story of a young boy''s awakening into the secrets of the adult world, The Go-Between is also an unforgettable evocation of the boundaries of Edwardian society. It was adapted into an internationally-successful film starring Julie Christie and Alan Bates.

Edited with an introduction and notes by Douglas Brooks-Davies

''Magical and disturbing''
Independent

''On a first reading, it is a beautifully wrought description of a small boy''s loss of innocence long ago. But, visited a second time, the knowledge of approaching, unavoidable tragedy makes it far more poignant and painful''
