"The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there."

Haunting, moving, evocative, The Go-Between is L. P. Hartley's heartbreaking novel about social constraints and childhood innocence.

During the long, hot summer of 1900, young Leo Colston is invited to stay for a month at a lordly, aristocratic manor in Norfolk. There he falls in love with his friend's older sister, who commissions him to ferry secret messages to the local farmer, her lover. His naiveté sustains their affair until ultimately leading to an event that will change their lives irrevocably.

Sean Barret was a great narrator presenting a character that is made to reminisce an event from childhood that had grave effects on everyone involved. L. P. Hartley created an interesting scenario where the narrator is placed back into the mindset of his childhood self, naive to the situation he was put in. Both the older narrator looking back and the listener are constantly aware of the dramatic irony that takes place from the scandalous liaison, however younger Leo cannot fathom what he is taking part in, With his novel, Hartley explores memory, repression, childhood and class divisions in The Go-Between with Barret giving a excellent performance as a man exposed to a dark secret of his past.
