  • A novel by L. P. Hartley, published in 1953. Leo Colston, an elderly man who has never married, discovers a diary he kept as a schoolboy which recalls a long-ago summer that he has subconsciously blocked from his memory. In 1900, Leo was invited to spend the summer with his schoolfriend Marcus Maudsley and his family at Brandham Hall the grand Norfolk house they lease from Hugh, Viscount Trimingham, a genial aristocratic war hero with a disfigured face. The socially-ambitious Mrs Maudsley has arranged a marriage between Trimingham and her daughter Marian. Left to his own devices for an afternoon, Leo wanders into the yard of Ted Burgess, a tenant farmer, who befriends Leo and persuades him to take a message to Marian. Marian sends him back with a reply, and thus the naive Leo is unwittingly entangled as an intermediary in the developing romance between Marian and Ted. The Go Between has one of the great opening lines: The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there. Faithfully filmed in 1970 with Julie Christie as Marian, Alan Bates as Ted, Edward Fox as Trimingham, and a whole battery of British character actors.
