Summer is a novel written by the Pulitzer Prize-winning American author Edith Wharton. It was first published in 1917 and tells the story of a young woman named Charity Royall who lives in a small town in New England. Charity is the daughter of a poor mountain family and was adopted by the town's lawyer, Mr. Royall. She works as his assistant and lives in his house, but she dreams of escaping her small town life and finding love and adventure.One summer, a young man named Lucius Harney comes to town to do research for his book. He and Charity fall in love and begin a passionate affair, but their relationship is complicated by their different social classes and the disapproval of the town's residents. As the summer progresses, Charity must navigate the complexities of love, class, and societal expectations.Summer is a poignant and beautifully written novel that explores themes of love, desire, and social class. Wharton's prose is elegant and evocative, capturing the beauty and complexity of small-town life in early 20th century America. The novel has been praised for its vivid characters, its exploration of gender roles and sexuality, and its powerful portrayal of the human heart. It remains a beloved classic of American literature and a testament to Wharton's enduring legacy as one of the greatest writers of her time.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.
