Description
"The latest volume of Miss Richardson's series of novels describes Miriam's Swiss experiences. After a journey across France she feels that first sharp sense of Switzerland which few can miss, and soon she finds herself caught into the social life of a world which is described with remarkable insight. Dorothy Richardson knows the summons of unknown peaks and the enchanted promise of mountain heights. She can depict with equal success the keen young Englishman collecting members for the Ski Club, or the Italian business man on holiday from Milan. Her art brings the whole delight of Switzerland before the eyes"--From dust jacket.
