Summer by Edith Wharton

Summer by Edith Wharton

Charity Royall, a restless young woman in a poor, isolated New England village, falls into a passionate summer affair with a visiting architect that offers her a brief glimpse of a life beyond her constrained circumstances, before the affair's consequences force her back into dependence on the guardian she has always resented.

Wharton, writing in a starker, more rural register than her more famous novels of New York society, treats Charity's sexual awakening and its aftermath with unusual frankness for its era, and the novel's clear-eyed treatment of class, dependency and limited options for women gives it lasting power.

A quietly devastating Wharton novel, notable for its frank treatment of female sexuality for its era.
