Status Updates From The Go-Between

keep thinking about atonement while reading this so i did some googling and ian mcewan was indeed inspired by this LOL u live and u learn

maybe the most compelling prologue i’ve ever read??

“As for the Virgin, the one distinctively female figure in the galaxy, I can scarcely say what she meant to me. She was dressed adequately, but only in the coils and sweeps of her long hair; and I doubt whether the school authorities, had they known about her, would have approved of the hours of dalliance my thoughts spent with her, though these, I think, were innocent enough.”
What an incredible passage.

so far it’s giving catcher in the rye but make it british and im eating this up…..another stunning STUNNING book and im looking forward to the tragic??sad??devastating??turn of events with trepidation
