About the Author

Edith Wharton (born Edith Newbold Jones; January 24, 1862 – August 11, 1937) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist, short story writer, and designer. She was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927, 1928 and 1930. Wharton combined her insider's view of America's privileged classes with a brilliant, natural wit to write humorous, incisive novels and short stories of social and psychological insight. She was well acquainted with many of her era's other literary and public figures, including Theodore Roosevelt.

Review

As a summer full of romance draws to a close, a young woman discovers the heartbreak that autumn ushers in. Lorna Raver s narration masterfully tells the story of the rebellious but genuine Charity Royall. Raver s reading is thoughtful, capturing the warm emotions of the heroine while keeping with the slower pace of Wharton s depiction of the setting. In SUMMER, Wharton diverges from her usual focus on the New York elite, instead setting the story in rural New England. Raver makes the inhabitants of the small town come alive by using the rural dialects in her vocal characterizations. Her attention to dialect and tone absorbs the elements of Wharton s novel that make it authentically American. --AudioFile
