false 258079 27 "The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there." Summering with a fellow schoolboy on a great English estate, Leo, the hero of L. P. Hartley's finest novel, encounters a world of unimagined luxury. But when his friend's beautiful older sister enlists him as the unwitting messenger in her illicit love affair, the aftershocks will be felt for years. The inspiration for the brilliant Joseph Losey/Harold Pinter film starring Julie Christie and Alan Bates,<i> The Go-Between</i> is a masterpiece;a richly layered, spellbinding story about past and present, naiveté and knowledge, and the mysteries of the human heart. This volume includes, for the first time ever in North America, Hartley's own introduction to the novel. 1553524 book 1954 The Go-Between total:344|5:115|4:128|3:77|2:18|1:6| 344 1360 648 46 5 3 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Mar 06 11:49:42 -0800 2007 Sun Nov 04 14:23:09 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 4 false false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 09 11:10:09 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 01 23:59:46 -0700 2008
The climactic action of this book is when a kid rips up a shrub, yet, I liked it.
