Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Sarah Gorham recounts her childhood education as a rebellious, insecure, angry girl shipped overseas to a tiny international school perched on a mountain shelf in Bernese-Oberland, Switzerland. There, boot camp style, she experienced deprivation, acute embarrassment, and keen educational guidance, all in the name of growing up. The Swiss landscape influenced her with its paradoxes: unforgiving slopes and peaks; government-controlled hills and valleysso, too, the languages shes obliged to learn: one ruffian, the other militaristic.Though her stay lasted a mere two years, her time there was so crucial in her transition to adulthood that she returns to those years decades later, each and every night in memory and dream. There are brief forays into the science of surviving an avalanche; Sherlock Holmess faked demise at the Reichenbach Falls; the origins of meringue; and the history of homesickness and its spiritual twin, Sehnsucht. In her travels Gorham tracks an adolescent experience both agonizingly familiar and curiously exotic. In this coming-of-age memoir, a rebellious, insecure, angry girl is shipped overseas to a tiny international school perched on a mountain shelf in Bernese-Oberland, Switzerland. Here, boot-camp style, she experiences deprivation, acute embarrassment, and keen educational guidance, all in the name of growing up. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780820350721
