Description
Sir Alfred Munnings' scathing attack on Modern Art at the 1949 Annual Banquet shocks his audience and those tuning in to the BBC's live radio broadcast. As he struggles to regain composure, his speech takes an unexpected turn, revealing a personal secret that transports him back forty years to a pivotal moment in his past. This poignant re-creation of an Edwardian artistic community, on the cusp of war, is a powerful exploration of beauty, deprivation and tragedy. The result is a moving love story that resonates with the understated elegance of The Go-Between. With its nuanced portrayal of a bygone era, Summer in February is a thought-provoking novel that lingers long after the final page has been turned. Published in 1996, this edition features new pages and remains a compelling read for those interested in literary fiction.
