The Bookmarked series focuses on a famous work of literature that left a powerful impression on an author (hence the name, Bookmarked - a book that left its mark). Each entry in the series will be a no-holds-barred personal narrative detailing how a particular novel influenced an author on their journey to becoming a writer, as well as the myriad directions that journey has taken them. Critically acclaimed author and Bookmarked series editor Kirby Gann takes on John Knowles' classic, A Separate Peace (originally published 1959) about a tragic friendship between two boys.
