Description
Set against the lush backdrop of rural Massachusetts, Summer tells the story of Charity Royall's desperate bid for freedom from her stifling life. When a young city architect visits for the summer, it offers her a chance to break free from the constraints of her isolated village and her hard-drinking adoptive father.
As Charity embarks on an intense affair with the city architect, she must confront the risks of her newfound freedom and the possibility that it may bring another kind of trap. Edith Wharton's novel is a powerful exploration of a young woman's struggle to live on her own terms and overturn the rules of her day.
Published in 1917, Summer was widely acclaimed for its honest depiction of a young woman's desires and ambitions, and remains one of Edith Wharton's most celebrated works. This edition is published by National Geographic Books.
