In the Mountains
First published in 1920, the story is written in first person as a journal. Our narrator is a tired English woman who, after WWI, escapes ambiguous personal troubles in London and seeks refuge at her chalet among the Swiss Alps. As she starts to gain strength, two English women, also of ambiguous personal circumstances, show up literally on her doorstep. The hostess takes them in, and they embark on a strange and endearing path to helping each other.

This is a book about someone shattered by war, and who wants to come back to being a live. It is a book about grief. I read it after some difficult times in my life. Although my difficulties didn't include war -- this book was a calming balm. It isn't traumatic in any way, it is a soothing story about being shattered and coming back to life.
