Summer with Original Foreword by Johanna Parkhurst - Edith Wharton

Edith Wharton's Controversial Coming-of-Age Novel

A story full of spirit and scandal...

Charity Royall longs for more in life. She can't stand her sleepy little village or the people who walk its streets. 

Then, Lucius Harney strolls into town. 

He awakes an excitement within Charity that can't be chastened. They have no shortage of valid excuses to meet together, but it doesn't take long for whispers of scandal to snake their way through the community.

"[Summer] is about a character scraped down to the barest elements of her vulnerabilities by her emotional and physical passions. It is a story of how love, relationships, and sex reshape and redefine one person's entire world." -J.E. Birk, author of Booklover

This beautifully designed rendition of one of Wharton's classics is a must-have for anyone who also loves stories such as Emma, The Age of Innocence, and Little Women.
