Gay from China at the Chalet School

A new girl called Jacynth befriends Gay Lambert, partly through their shared love of music.

Meanwhile the Chalet School has a huge problem and has to employ temporary staff, including the appalling Miss Bubb who doesn't understand the Chalet School ethos. And to add to everything, Madge's young daughter has a horrible accident.

Set in the war years, this book is very moving in places, with lots of interesting subplots. It's certainly no run-of-the-mill as some of the later Chalet School books tend to be. Definitely recommended if you like this genre, particularly the full text editions (hardback or GGBP).
