This is a classic and a good read although I found most of the book rather depressing and confusing, which reflects the state of mind of the narrator. It is beautifully written with unusual use of words, implying new meanings to common words. The ending is a surprise so I won’t give any spoilers.

Born in Cornwall, England, William Golding started writing at the age of seven. Though he studied natural sciences at Oxford to please his parents, he also studied English and published his first book, a collection of poems, before finishing college. He served in the Royal Navy during World War II, participating in the Normandy invasion. Golding’s other novels include Lord of the Flies, The Inheritors, The Free Fall, Pincher Martin, The Double Tongue, and Rites of Passage, which won the Booker Prize.
