Geneva is the setting for L'Engle's tale of a lonely American girl in an international school. There is no sentimentality in the friendship Philippa forms with a French boy in a nearby chateau. Characters are skillfully portrayed against a background of winter sports and a fine feeling for the beauty of the country. This edition includes an introduction by L'Engle's granddaughter.
