Product Description

 
Written in Paris in 1916, as Edith Whaton contemplated the German army's approach,SUMMER is her most erotic and lyrical novel. The setting for the book, however, is far away from Paris, in the same rigid New England she used forEthan FROME. It is here that she explores her most daring theme-a woman's awakening to her sexual needs. The book's heroine is an eighteen-year-old girl named Charity Royall. Living in the small town of North Dormer, she is ignorant of desire until she meets a visiting architect, Lucius Harney. Like the succulent summer in the beautiful Berkshires around them, their romance is lush and picturesque, but its consequences are harsh and real.

  Minot, Susan: "Edith Wharton was not a feminist. She has, however, been taken up by feminists who find in her dramas insights about the destructive effect society might have on a woman... The novelist--that is, the good novelist--does not offer solutions, nor does she announce her work as a vehicle of change. But, in delineating the foibles and exposing the tragedies in society, she composes a quiet, subversive song."
