Book Review By Jane Fiegen
A Separate Peace by John Konwles

Gene returns to his old prep-school, and the actions that took place there come back to his mind. It was a year of turmoil over sea in WWII. Gene was lucky to be best friends with the most popular kid in school, the athletic and charismic Finny. But things do go so well, and Gene must come to grips with his true feelings.
