The Gustav Sonata by Rose Tremain
To have the right kind of life, Mutti tells Gustav, "be like Switzerland . . . hold yourself together . . . be courageous, stay separate and strong". But what is the right kind of life and did his parents follow this maxim? What happened to his father, why is Mutti so bitter and cold, what is the difference between friendship and love? Or between neutrality and commitment? Read it to find out! Another star from Tremain.
