Summer

eBook ( Aug. 4, 2014)
This edition includes 10 illustrations. Edith Wharton, whose work depicting upper-class society in Victorian-era America earned her a Pulitzer in 1920 for The Age of Innocence, saw her eleventh novel, Summer, published in 1917. Set in New England and focusing on Charity Royall, the ward of her town’s most prominent citizen, Summer is filled with first romance and a love which must end as the year’s warmest months turn to autumn. As provocative as it is realistic in the rendering of its characters, who are by turns bold, cruel and passionate, Summer’s rural heroine struggles no less than her wealthy, cosmopolitan contemporaries.
