I recently read "The Go-Between" by L.P. Hartley.
The story is about an old man, Leo Colston, who remembers his child years(It's full of flashbacks). The story takes place in 1900 in England(Leo was a 13 years old child in 1900). More specifically in Norwich, Norfolk. Even more specifically in Brandham Hall, a large building where a rich family lived in.

Now, I wonder: Does Brandham Hall exist? I mean, Norwich and Norfolk exist, so what about this Hall?

I think Brandham Hall is fictional.

I've got to say that this was my least favourite novel at O-level English Lit. Never really found much of interest in this book. Oh well. You've finished it now, so hopefully you can forget about it too. :)
