Book Reviews of The Go-Between (New York Review Books Classics)
Book Review: Summer mystery and adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
The one word that automatically springs to mind when describing this book is: atmosphere, but I have to ration my superlatives for this post-war classic, such is my admiration and delight in every one of its two hundred and something pages. The prose is sublime and the story is a nostalgic evocation of a child's uncertain and naïve attempt to unravel the adult world. Its a simple little tale of class, lust, lies and cricket. It is so hot, this distant longed-for English summer, that the mercury throbs in the thermometer. For me, this book is sublime and immortal, others must decide for themselves. I recommend it without reservation.
