Considered by some to be her finest work, Edith Wharton’s Summer created a sensation when first published in 1917, as it was one of the first novels to deal honestly with a young woman’s sexual awakening.
Summer is the story of Charity Royall, a child of mountain moonshiners adopted by a family in a poor New England town, who has a passionate love affair with Lucius Harney, an educated man from the city. Wharton broke the conventions of women’s romantic fiction by making Charity a thoroughly independent modern woman—in touch with her emotions and sexuality, yet kept from love and the larger world she craves by the overwhelming pressures of heredity and society.
Praised for its realism and honesty by such writers as Joseph Conrad and Henry James and compared to Flaubert’s Madame Bovary , Summer remains as fresh and powerful a novel today as when it was first written.

描写得相当有文采。结尾像《杀死一只知更鸟》一样令人意外。比《傲慢与偏见》深刻。
评分2018.7.9 这辈子和一个自己不爱的人结婚，是多么地屈辱... 你对我再好，也抵不过他的一个微笑。 而我再爱他，就是赌上我的全部，也不过换来一个夏天的相遇...
评分这是一本难得的读的顺心的让人感到安静的小说，可是读到了最后竟然还以为是一本结局圆满的好故事，结果却是一个女孩的悲剧故事，唉，我这算是没看懂吗？不过这是一本无论如何值得一读的好书。
评分语言好清澈 少女心事
评分Goodreads上面一个人说得好，Edith Wharton 写写她熟知的上层社会故事就好，农民和妓女的还是留给莫泊桑和毛姆这样了解他们的。
