Summer

In the sleepy village of North Dormer, Charity Royall has always felt trapped—bound by her guardian's stern authority and the narrow horizons of a life she never chose. When a charismatic architect from the city arrives for the summer, Charity is swept into a whirlwind of passion and possibility. But as the season deepens, she must confront the painful truths of her own past and the harsh limits of the world around her. This faithful modern retelling preserves Wharton's lyrical intensity while making the story sing for today's readers. Experience the heat of first love, the ache of betrayal, and the fierce courage of a young woman determined to forge her own path. Part of Timeless Classics.
