Sophia Willoughby, a young English woman from an aristocratic
family and a person of strong opinions and even stronger will, has
packed off her unsatisfactory and improvident husband to Paris. He
can have his tawdry mistress. She will devote herself to the
serious business of properly raising her two children. Then tragedy
strikes: the children die, and Sophia, in despair, finds her way to
Paris, arriving just in time for the revolution of 1848. Before
long Sophia has formed the unlikeliest of close relations with
Minna, her husband's sometime mistress. Minna leads Sophia on a
wild adventure through Bohemian and revolutionary Paris. Sylvia
Townsend Warner, was one of the most original and inventive of
20th-century English novelists as well as a frequent contributor to
the New Yorker. Summer Will Show is the most out-and-out exciting
of Warner's novels and a brilliant re-imagining of the
possibilities of historical fiction.
