Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.
An American classic and great bestseller for over sixty years, A Separate Peace is timeless coming-of-age novel about friendship, rivalry, and adolescence during a period when the entire country was losing its innocence to World War II.
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.
