A Separate Peace, by John Knowles
First published in 1959 (the same year that H-F opened), this classic is told through the eyes of Gene Forrester, who looks back fifteen years to a time in which he and his best friend Phineas were roommates in a New Hampshire boarding school. Their friendship is marred by Finny’s crippling fall, and event for which Gene is responsible and one that eventually leads to tragedy.
