Summer is a novel written by Edith Wharton, an American author, in 1917. The book is set in a small town in New England and follows the story of a young woman named Charity Royall. Charity is an orphan who lives with her adoptive father, Mr. Royall, who is the town's lawyer and a man of questionable character. Despite her humble beginnings, Charity is ambitious and dreams of leaving her small town to pursue a better life.One summer, Charity meets a young man named Lucius Harney, who is visiting from the city. They quickly fall in love and begin a passionate affair. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Lucius is engaged to another woman and comes from a much higher social class than Charity.As their relationship develops, Charity begins to question her own desires and the limitations of her social status. She must navigate the expectations of her community and confront the harsh realities of class and gender inequality.Summer is a poignant exploration of love, desire, and the complexities of social class in early 20th century America. Wharton's writing is elegant and insightful, capturing the nuances of human emotion and the intricacies of social dynamics. The novel is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.SINCE her reinstatement in Miss Hatchard's favour Charity had not dared to curtail by a moment her hours of attendance at the library. She even made a point of arriving before the time, and showed a laudable indignation when the youngest Targatt girl, who had been engaged to help in the cleaning and rearranging of the books, came trailing in late and neglected her task to peer through the window at the Sollas boy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
