It's short

Following my own suggestion (>>17018366), I learned of pic related in a similar hidden gems thread. More of a curiosity than a masterpiece.
It's written by a woman, about a young girl, later a teenager, about her coming of age in a boarding house of rich aristocratic girls, somewhere in Switzerland or Austria. I've seen its prose described as telegrammatic, which fits the concise detached sentences and it was probably its most interesting aspect. It's a very short book, about a cold girl with daddy issues interacting with other strange girls. Just an interesting perspective with not much of a plot going on.

is the cover a picture of the author when she was young?
i know she was a model but i can't find any pictures of her at the time and it kinda looks like older her
