A review by bibliotequeish
Summer by Edith Wharton
4.0
The coming of age story about young Charity Royall rescued from the Mountain, and raised by the aging Lawyer Royall.
Swept off her feet by the mysterious Lucius, Charity begins to resent her guardian and plans to run away and marry Lucius, only Lawyer Royall knows this is not a possibility.
Not your average Wharton book, more along the lines of "Ethan Frome", than "The Custom of the Country". A rare Wharton story depicting poverty and social struggle.
