The Go-Between by L.P. Hartley

emotional reflective sad slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

Fairly simple storyline in which it is clear the narrator is traumatised yet did not capture my attention. Attitudes of the characters felt frustrating, with a lot of the intrigue and possible humour left to the reader’s inference (which I don’t dislike, but the distance between the text and a 21st century view is tangible). Characters felt shallow and undeveloped at points.
