The Go-Between by L P Hartley

The Go-Between by L P Hartley

Tells a tale of nostalgia, the reawakening of lost memories and sexual awareness. This title features a haunting story of a young boy's awakening into the secrets of the adult world that is also an evocation of the boundaries of Edwardian society.

Leslie Poles Hartley was born in Cambridgeshire in 1895, and was educated first at Harrow and then Oxford. His career as a writer began with short stories (his first collection Night Fears was published in 1924) and ran alongside his work as a prolific and highly regarded reviewer of fiction, writing for such magazines as the Spectator and the Sketch. His first full-length novel was The Shrimp and the Anemone (1944) and was followed by a succession of novels, including The Hireling (1957) and his final work Love-Adept (1969). While the majority of L. P. Hartley's work is now, sadly, out of print, The Go-Between remains the most enduringly popular and timeless of his novels, rightfully claiming its place as a classic.
