A story set in England in the hot summer of 1900. Leo is staying with his school friend, Marcus, at Brandham Hall in Norfolk. Leo is drawn into acting as a discreet messenger between Marian, the grown-up daughter at the Hall, and Ted, a local farmer.

For once, I like the blurb on the Penguin Classics cover, which concludes with these words:

"...The haunting story of a young boy's awaking into the secrets of the adult world. The Go-Between is also an unforgettable evocation of the boundaries of Edwardian society. [ In fact, 1900 is still Victorian. Edward became king a year later.]

'On a first reading, it is a beautifully wrought description of a small boy's loss of innocence long ago. But, visited a second time, the knowledge of approaching, unavoidable tragedy makes it far more poignant and painful.' (Daily Express) ""
