Description

Sweet Days of Discipline by Fleur Jaeggy is a haunting and beautiful novel about obsessive love and madness. The story begins with the narrator's account of her time at a boarding school in postwar Switzerland, where she sets her sights on a new girl, Fréderique. With a ruthless intensity, the narrator pursues her desires, driven by a desire to win Fréderique's affections. In this spare and evocative prose, Jaeggy explores the darker aspects of human desire and the devastating consequences of unchecked passion. The result is a work of stunning power and beauty, one that is both terrifying and gorgeous. Translated by Tim Parks, Sweet Days of Discipline is a masterful and unflinching portrayal of the human condition.
