Works :: FREE FALL
|

|
Considered by some to be one of Golding's best, this book needs to be read more than once. Through its narrator's search for the point at which he lost his freedom -by implication, the freedom to be good - the novel strikes the reader most forcibly in its terrible demonstration of how we are born to hurt each other - and ourselves. A love story in which hate and cruelty play their parts, the narrative cycles back and forth through time in a series of spell-binding, concretely imagined episodes. "People are the walls of our room, not philosophies."
