Description
The Greengage Summer by Rumer Godden is a poignant portrayal of adolescence and loss of innocence set against the backdrop of a long, hot summer in France. When their mother falls ill, five siblings are left to fend for themselves at an elegant hotel, where they become increasingly entwined with its glamorous patronne and her mysterious lover. As tensions rise, 13-year-old Cecil watches from the sidelines as her sister Joss becomes embroiled in a toxic affair. This tense, evocative story is a hauntingly beautiful coming-of-age tale that explores the complexities of love and deceit in the Champagne country. This beautifully designed Macmillan Collector's Library edition features an introduction by actress and novelist Jane Asher, making it a lovely gift for book lovers.
