In a Summer Season is one of Elizabeth Taylor's finest novels in which, in a moving and powerful climax, she reveals love to be the thing it is: beautiful, often funny, and sometimes tragic.

Then comes the return of Kate's old friend Charles - intelligent, kind and now widowed, with his beautiful young daughter.

Before long, even she cannot ignore the gathering storm . . .
