School For Love
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
Set in Jerusalem during the final days of World War II, School for Love is a quietly devastating coming-of-age novel that chronicles the journey of Felix Latimer, a lonely teenage orphan navigating a world of adult selfishness and suppressed longing. Stranded in the city while awaiting passage to England, Felix boards with the austere and manipulative Miss Bohun, a woman whose cold religiosity masks a fierce instinct for self-preservation. Manning constructs a story of sharp psychological intensity, contrasting the ancient spiritual grandeur of Jerusalem with the petty cruelties of its wartime inhabitants. Written with the same precise, unsentimental prose that distinguishes The Balkan Trilogy, this novel presents a piercing meditation on innocence, disillusionment, and the painful education of the heart.
