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?
