Sweet Days of Discipline is a poetic, detached and gloomy portrait of what it means to grow up in boarding schools in the middle of the last century. The complications of adolescence, friendships and infatuations, remote parents, in the rigid structure of education and discipline. Detachments are formed and ripped apart, what stays is a cold and melancholy feeling. The further it went along the more the prose just fluttered apart. I wanted more narrative structure.
