As the title suggests, I’m looking for books that focus on the same themes and capture the same vibe as the 1989 film. Nuanced characters with great camaraderie is a must. Bonus points if set at a boarding school, or in some other repressed place and time. Ensure that there is joy, well-earned pathos, and a chance to turn the social hierarchy upside down.
Would Alice Winn’s “In Memoriam” and Evelyn Waugh’s “Brideshead Revisited” meet expectations?
