A Separate Peace by John KnowlesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Funny, I got this because I misread the cover and thought this was a title by one of my favorite novelists John Fowles...
...That mistake was years ago and I just got round to reading this anyway.
This is a quick, easy read about an ephemeral, semi-autobiographical period at an exclusive boy's school on the east coast during the fervent times of growing WWII war fever.
The suddenly and inexplicable emergence of a darker nature, ultimately lethal sets this up as an existentialist quandary with, for me, distinct similarities to The Stranger.
