The Go-Between

13 May 2024: So glad to have finally read this novel, which has sat on my bedside table for years. I picked it for this month's book club selection and just fell into it. I love a finely drawn adolescent narrator--someone in that age range that is both terrified and confident, knows so much and knows nothing, tries to read the world around him and gets it wrong as much as he gets it right. I cannot wait to talk about it with the group. Too bad I have to wait nearly three weeks. Whoops!
