Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4 'A GOOD READ' '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 An
American coming-of-age tale during a period when the entire country
was losing its innocence to the second world war. 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.
