A psychologically astute novella in which a 12-year-old tries to interpret what’s happening between his mother and a fellow hotel guest, a baron he looks up to. For this naïve boy, many things come as a shock, including the threat of sex and the possibility of deception. This reminded me most of Thomas Mann’s Death in Venice. I read a download from Project Gutenberg.

Two more Zweig novellas reviewed on the same day! Both go onto my list, R.
