"Summer" is a novel by Edith Wharton published in 1917. Unlike her other
works, this novel is set in New England and explores themes of social class,
women's roles, destructive relationships, sexual awakening, and the desires of
the protagonist, Charity Royall. The story begins with Charity feeling bored
with her life in a small town and dreaming of a better future. She secures a
job at the town's library to save money and eventually leave. Charity's life
changes when she meets Lucius Harney, an architect, and they develop a
romantic relationship. However, their relationship faces obstacles, including
Mr. Royall's disapproval and Lucius's involvement with another woman. Charity
becomes pregnant and faces challenges, but ultimately decides to marry Mr.
Royall for the sake of her child. The novel explores Charity's coming-of-age
and her growth as she navigates difficult decisions. The major characters
include Charity, Mr. Royall, Lucius, Annabel, and Julia. "Summer" is
considered one of Wharton's lesser-known novels due to its controversial
subject matter.
