A Separate Peace

A Separate Peace

John Knowles

In John Knowles's A Separate Peace, scholarly Gene and athletic Finny are best friends at a prep school in the 1950s. Their physical resemblance and complementary personalities make them almost like doubles of each other. A tragic fall from a tree leads to shattered dreams for one boy and self-discovery and maturity for the other. John Knowles's A Separate Peace dramatizes the challenge of growing up to be a truly individual adult in a conformist world.
