Summer is one of two books set in New England. When Charity Royall was a child, she was treated badly by her father. Summer delves into her sexual awakening. Charity has many similarities to the character Ethan Frome from another of her novels. (Ethan Frome is Ms Wharton's best known novel.) Creating a firestorm of controversy in 1917, here is one of the first novels to deal honestly with a woman's sexual awakening. Wharton — the author of Ethan Frome — completely shattered the standards of conventional love stories with candor and realism. Nearly a century later, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author's personal favorite remains fresh and relevant. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************* I accept payment in the form of postal money orders and personal checks.
