“Book Descriptions: Nina Rutherford has come to the Chalet School following the death of her father. She is a talented musician, bordering on genius, and it takes her some time to become accustomed to school life. However, midway through her first term at the Chalet School, she is beginning to learn to consider the needs of other people.
Nina's closest relatives are her cousins, the Rutherfords, and when news comes from home that Sir Guy and Lady Rutherford's eldest daughter, Alix, is seriously ill, Mary-Lou helps Nina to suggest that Alix should recover at the Gornetz Platz Sanatorium.
Then a chance meeting on a trip to Lac Leman with a very Old Girl from the Tirol reveals that Nina is not as alone in the world as she thought she was.” DRIVE
