Description
The Summer Country is a sweeping Victorian epic of lost love, lies, jealousy, and rebellion set in colonial Barbados. In 1854, Emily Dawson inherits Peverills, a sugar plantation her grandfather never told anyone he owned, leaving her to unravel the tangled history behind its ruins.
Rumors swirl around the derelict plantation, with people whispering of ghosts and the neighboring plantation owners eager to acquire it. As Emily delves into the past, she uncovers a complex web of lies, greed, clandestine love, and heartbreaking betrayal that led to the plantation's downfall in 1816.
This beautifully written novel will beguile readers with its rendering of families, heartbreak, and the endurance of hope against all odds. With its atmospheric setting and multigenerational saga, The Summer Country is a captivating tale of love, loss, and rebellion that will linger long after the final page is turned.
