## Description

A story of forbidden sexual passion and thwarted dreams set against the backdrop of a lush summer in rural Massachusetts Seventeen-year-old Charity Royall is desperate to escape life with her hard-drinking adoptive father. Their isolated village stifles her, and his behaviour increasingly disturbs her. When a young city architect visits for the summer, it offers Charity the chance to break free. But as they embark on an intense affair, will it bring her another kind of trap? Regarded by Edith Wharton as among her best novels, Summer caused a sensation in 1917 with its honest depiction of a young woman overturning the rules of her day and attempting to live on her own terms.

Review: Brilliant - wonderfully written - A beautiful story - most enjoyable
Review: Beautifully written / happy with Kindle version - This is the first Edith Wharton novel that I've read, and it has certainly roped me in. I've purchased a few more of her books and looking forward to reading them. The characters are wonderfully depicted and whether you grow to love or loathe them, you're truly acquainted with each of their personalities. Wharton's descriptions of scenes, feelings and behaviour are so vibrant and captivating. Although the story itself is rather slow-paced, it unfolds in an engaging way and had me gripped from start to finish. I don't know what other editions of this book are like - they may be better or worse - but I was pleased with this free kindle version that I purchased. I didn't encounter any problems; it seemed without faults as far as I could tell.
