AUTHOR: Gwethalyn Graham was a Canadian writer, whose 1944 novel Earth and High Heaven was the first Canadian book to reach number one on the New York Times Best Seller list Graham won the Governor Generals Award twice, for her first novel Swiss Sonata in 1938, and for Earth and High Heaven in 1944. BOOK RESUME: Winner of the 1938 Governor Generals Literary Award For Fiction. Never before published in Canada, Swiss Sonata is the first novel by Gwethalyn Graham, written when she was just 25. The novel is set in a girls boarding school in Switzerland in 1936. What makes this novel extraordinary is not just the penetrating insights into the behaviour of the girls ? echoed later in novels such as The Wives of Bath ? but for her timely insights into the dark clouds of war and hatred gathering over all of Europe at the time.

First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good plus. Hans Aufseeser (illustrator). 1st Edition. 384pp, top edge grey; gilt emerald linen, jacket (8-6d net on flap); 207 x 147 x 32 mm. The author's first book, winner of the third Governor-General's Award for Fiction; inscribed on ffe: "With gratitude for a splendid review, and some invaluable advice. Gwethalyn Graham 17.4.38". Ex libris, William Arthur Deacon, with his pencil notes (presumably a review copy, inscribed subsequently). A clean copy otherwise, save for a faint ink thumbprint at foot of page 161 (presumably Deacon's), where one would hold the book while reading. The jacket has been price-clipped with a UK price inked onto the flap (presumably for reference); while the Canadian price is pencilled at upper tip of ffe (2.50). Apart from Deacon's Globe & Mail piece, the earliest periodical reviews (according to Hoy) appeared in the TLS (19 February); New Statesman & Nation (26 February); & Spectator (11 March); the earliest US reviews, in the New York Times Book Review (17 April, date of the present inscription); & Saturday Review (23 April); & the earliest Canadian review in Saturday Night (4 June). Resolving the confusion of GG-Award bibliographers (who raise the question of a discrete Nelson edition), the British edition was merely distributed in Canada by Thomas Nelson at $2.50 (according to the list accompanying a review in the University of Toronto Quarterly, April 1939; reprinted in Letters in Canada 1938, p360). Extremely scarce (particularly in jacket), in large part from the destruction of the Simpkin Marshall distribution warehouse during the Blitz (1941); WorldCat tracing only two copies of the UK edition. The present jacket, which is lightly worn at crown of spine (4mm) has a piece out at upper flap fold, extending into the flap (1.5 x 2 cm) & a 2cm closed tear at crown of upper joint. The blank lower panel is lightly mottled & dusty. Overall a remarkably attractive jacket, with the red spine print only lightly faded. Rare in jacket. Inscribed by Author(s).
