SUMMER (WHARTON) (LITTLE CLOTHBOUND CLASSICS) (HB)

A novella regarded by Edith Wharton as one of her very best, Summer tells the tale of forbidden sexual passion and thwarted dreams set against the backdrop of a lush summer in rural Massachusetts. A sensation on first publication, its honest depiction of a young woman attempting to live on her own terms remains as vital today as it was in 1917. Little Clothbound Classics presents work by the world's greatest writers in editions designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith.
