A novel about obsessive love and madness set in postwar
Switzerland, Fleur Jaeggy's eerily beautiful novel begins
innocently enough: "At fourteen I was a boarder in a school in the
Appenzell." But there is nothing innocent here. With the off-handed
remorselessness of a young Eve, the narrator describes her
potentially lethal designs to win the affections of Frederique, the
apparently perfect new girl. In Tim Parks' consummate translation
(with its "spare, haunting quality of a prose poem," TLS), Sweet
Days of Discipline is a peerless, terrifying, and gorgeous work.
