Winner of the 1938 Governor General's Literary Award For Fiction. Never before published in Canada, Swiss Sonata is the first novel by Gwethalyn Graham, written when she was just 25. The novel is set in a girls' boarding school in Switzerland in 1936. What makes this novel extraordinary is not just the penetrating insights into the behaviour of the girls ? echoed later in novels such as The Wives of Bath ? but for her timely insights into the dark clouds of war and hatred gathering over all of Europe at the time.
