Summer by Edith Wharton audiobook. Genre: drama In a secluded New England village called North Dormer, Charity Royall has grown up feeling both restless and trapped, raised by the stern, older lawyer who rescued her from the impoverished Mountain community nearby. When Lucius Harney, a young architect from the city, arrives to study local houses, his curiosity about the town and his easy confidence awaken Charity's longing for a larger life and a different future. Drawn into a summer of walks, talks, and secret meetings, Charity begins to test the boundaries of what her small world permits, even as gossip, class prejudice, and her own uncertain origins tighten around her. As the season turns, she faces hard choices about love, belonging, and the price of independence in a place that measures a woman's worth by her reputation. Edith Wharton crafts a tense, intimate portrait of desire colliding with duty, and of a young woman struggling to claim her identity in a community that refuses to forget where she came from.
