Not Even a Truce
I'm always troubled by war stories--stories that take place on the battlefront or in the combat zone of the troubled heart. But I know they touch the very core of human existence, and one of them, A Separate Peace is so exquisitely crafted and finely honed I can't get enough of it. Set on the... Read full review »

| "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. As I read the story I had the feeling of climbing a tower and looking at wider and wider prospects of human nature, each bleaker than the last....The characters are real, the tragedy is inevitable, the setting is perfectly chosen. I shall recommend this book to anyone who tells me that the novel is no longer a work of art." | ||
