Description
Set in rural New England, Edith Wharton's novel "Summer" tells the story of Charity Royall, a young woman struggling to come to terms with her feelings and sexuality. Abandoned by her parents and adopted by a lawyer, Charity feels suffocated by the constraints of her small town life.
Her desire for freedom and luxury leads her to an affair with Lucius Harney, a city-educated architect visiting from afar. As their relationship deepens, it becomes increasingly complicated, particularly in the eyes of Mr. Royall, Charity's guardian. This thought-provoking novel explores the tension between individual desire and societal expectations, a theme that remains relevant today.
Printed on premium acid-free paper, this edition of "Summer" is a poignant portrayal of a young woman navigating the challenges of her own identity in a society governed by strict social norms. With its ambiguous and nuanced storytelling, Wharton's novel continues to resonate with readers seeking a nuanced exploration of human experience.
