Emerald Fennell named L. P. Hartley's The Go-Between: "I was sort of looking more at that British Country House tradition", the world "where class and power and sex all kind of collide".

About the work

The Go-Between

In old age, Leo Colston remembers the summer of 1900, when as a boy staying at a grand Norfolk house he carried secret letters between the daughter of the family and a tenant farmer, with consequences he did not understand.
