Summer is a novel written by Edith Wharton, published in 1917. The story is set in a small town in New England and follows the life of a young woman named Charity Royall. Charity is the daughter of a poor farmer and was adopted by a wealthy family in the town when she was a child. She works as a librarian and lives a simple life until she meets a young man named Lucius Harney, who is visiting the town for the summer.Charity and Lucius fall in love, but their relationship is complicated by their different social backgrounds and the expectations of society. Lucius is a well-educated man from the city, while Charity is a small-town girl with limited opportunities. As their relationship develops, Charity begins to question her place in society and her own desires.The novel explores themes of class, gender, and sexuality, as well as the tension between tradition and modernity. It is a poignant and insightful portrayal of a young woman’s struggle to find her place in the world and to define her own identity. Wharton’s writing is elegant and evocative, capturing the beauty and complexity of small-town life in New England at the turn of the century. Summer 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.
