Madonna and the Student. By Isabel Neilson. (Jonathan Cape. 7s.

6d. net.)—Music, winter sports, and the Munich University are the theme of this novel. It is chiefly inter- esting for its picture of post-War Germany. The excitement and misery caused by the fluctuations of the mark, the gay night life, and the scarcity of food are all vividly drawn and make a real effect on the mind of the reader.
