A stunning new edition of Edith Wharton's classic novel
'She had always thought of love as something confused and furtive, and he made it as bright and open as the summer air'
Seventeen-year-old Charity Royall is desperate to escape life with her hard-drinking adoptive father. Their isolated New England village stifles her, and his behaviour increasingly disturbs her. When a young city architect visits for the summer, it offers Charity the chance for adventure, even hope for a new life. But as they embark on an intense affair, will it bring her freedom, or another kind of trap?

About the author
Edith Wharton was born into a wealthy New York family in 1862, during the American Civil War. She married at twenty-three, and subsequently divided her time between homes in New York, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The House of Mirth, perhaps her most famous work, appeared in 1905, and was followed by Ethan Frome, The Custom of the Country, Summer and The Age of Innocence. Wharton was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. She died in 1937.
