Synopsis "Summer"

Summer's heroine is Charity Royall, foster child of one of her small, rural New England village's leading citizens, Lawyer Royall. Charity is just that, a charity-child, brought into the village from the nearby "Mountain", a loose community of social outcasts.

Edith Wharton was born in New York in 1862. Her maiden name was Edith Newbold Jones. Her family was upper class, comparable to European aristocracy, and consequently she received a meticulous private education. In 1907, she settled in France, where she became a disciple and friend of Henry James. Her most famous work is The Age of Innocence, published in 1920 and winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1921. She is considered the most brilliant American novelist of her generation, admired by intellectuals of the stature of Henry James, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Jean Cocteau, and Ernest Hemingway.
