I already only thought this little novel was ok headed into the last few short chapters. But then something frustrating happened to me as I read it. It became increasing clear that this novel was a rehash (even if unwittingly) of a novel I love and think is supremely good: LP Hartley’s The Go-Between. So maybe this one didn’t actually need to be pulled out of Santmyer’s leftover documents and papers, because not only is the story in this novel almost exactly the same as that […]
