4.0 out of 5 stars One magical summer, 1 Jun 2009
By Boof (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Summer (Penguin Twentieth Century Classics) (Paperback)
It's some book that make you dislike a character but yet fall for her over time, that can make you never want to live in a forgotten little place like that while all the time making you love to feel the sun on your face, marvel at the butterflies and smell the flowers on the mountain. Very clever.

This is the story of Charity Royall, a young, bored girl in a backwater town. When a stranger arrives, things start to get more interesting for her. I don't want to write any more than that for fear of spoiling the book, but sufice to say there are some surprises, some home-truths and some pretty tough times in store.

I really liked this book; Wharton delivers some wonderful prose that draws you in to this little world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic with "easy" language but no-so-easy plot, 29 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Summer (Paperback)
I usually read more modern writers, but my mother adores Wharton, so if there's nothing else, she's usually what I'll find. I've only read Summer and Ethan Frome, but between the two. . . .

What I love about Wharton's style is that it's older, sometimes considered classic, which leaves you feeling like you've just stepped out of the early 1900's. (Unfortunalty, you zoom back to near 2000.) For those who are looking for a book that will wow your teachers on book reports, look no further. It's not like Shakespeare or Henry James where you find yourself re-reading a page 5 times; the language is much clearer. I'm not saying, though, that it's easy reading. You do have to have a high maturity level and be able to take the character developments and surprise ending. I myself was so mad at the end of the novel that I planned to personally write Ms. Wharton. I realized that, unfortunatly, there would be no response. I still couldn't let it go, though, and I decided to write a sequel. Yeah, right. Let's just see how close I can get to Edith Wharton's level. Maybe I still will write it, but I have a feeling that she might not have liked that. I know I wouldn't. Besides, I suppose some things are better left unsaid.
