In a Summer Season

This novel explores the life of Kate Heron, a charming and wealthy widow who has remarried a much younger man. Set against the backdrop of a seemingly idyllic English summer, the story delves into the complexities of love, family, and societal expectations. Elizabeth Taylor's keen observations and elegant prose bring to life the subtle tensions and emotional undercurrents that simmer beneath the surface of domestic life. The narrative is both a poignant exploration of human relationships and a critique of the social mores of the time.
