About This Novel

Edith Wharton is famous for her ability to describe New York's upper class society, so most of her novels are set in New York, with "Summer" and "Etan Frome" being the exceptions. "Summer" was first published in 1917. The setting of the novel is New England. A naive and ignorant girl from a humble background met an ambitious city boy, and the two developed a romantic relationship. Charity Royal is proud, independent, and honest, but she has been living in the shadow of the past, especially her passionate love affair with the well-educated and gentle Lucius Harney. Can passion trump genetics and environmental influences?
