The Go-between

The Go-Between is a classic novel that provides a critical view of society at the end of the Victorian era. The story centers around a naïve schoolboy who is drawn into a complex web of relationships and deceit. While the novel does have its share of lighthearted moments, Hartley ultimately delivers a sharp and incisive commentary on the shallowness of aristocratic society. The characters are richly drawn and the plot is beautifully crafted, making The Go-Between a truly timeless work of literature.
