Description
In this haunting and precise novel, a young girl recounts her obsessive, platonic romance with a fellow student at a remote Swiss boarding school. Set in the stark beauty of the Alps, the narrative delves into the intense inner world of adolescence, where friendships can feel like the most profound love affairs. Through crystalline prose, the story explores themes of longing, isolation, and the indelible mark left by formative, often unarticulated, desires. This cult classic offers a chillingly intimate portrait of a girlhood shaped by unspoken devotion and the quiet discipline of memory.
