Summer is a novel written by Edith Wharton and published in 1917. The story follows the life of a young woman named Charity Royall, who lives in a small town in New England. Charity is the daughter of a poor mountain family and was taken in by a wealthy family in the town when she was a child. She works as a librarian and dreams of leaving the town to explore the world.One summer, a young man named Lucius Harney comes to town to do research for a book he is writing. Charity is immediately drawn to him, and they begin a passionate affair. However, their relationship is complicated by the strict social conventions of the town, as well as Lucius' own personal demons.As the summer progresses, Charity becomes increasingly disillusioned with her life in the town and begins to question her own desires and dreams. The novel explores themes of social class, gender roles, and the search for personal fulfillment.Summer is considered one of Wharton's most important works and is notable for its frank portrayal of female sexuality and desire.
