Summer

Edith Wharton's cult-classic novella of a young woman's sexual awakening, now in a Little Clothbound Classic designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith

A Penguin Classic Hardcover

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.
