Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Summer" by Edith Wharton is a novel published in 1917. Set in rural New England, it follows seventeen-year-old Charity Royall, who longs to escape her small mountain town and her guardian's oppressive home. When a charming young architect arrives, Charity experiences passion and possibility beyond her constrained world. But their romance leads to consequences that force her to confront harsh realities about class, desire, and survival. This controversial coming-of-age story explores a young woman's sexual awakening and the difficult choices she must make.
