Description

Edith Wharton's Summer is a poignant tale of forbidden passion and thwarted dreams set against the lush backdrop of the Massachusetts Berkshires. In this rural setting, a young woman's life becomes intertwined with her adoptive father in ways both dark and complex. As she navigates the confines of her isolated village, Charity Royall finds herself drawn to a visiting architect who awakens her long-dormant desires for escape and connection. Wharton masterfully explores themes of repressed sexuality, small-town prejudice, and the intricate web of relationships that bind us together. Published by Penguin Classics, this edition brings Wharton's timeless story to life with its authoritative text enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
