It's a long, languorous, country summer in a small Ohio town. After
many years spent away as a scholar and writer, Elizabeth Lane has
returned to the setting of her most poignant childhood memories, a
town steeped in her family's long history. She comes to Sunbury to
work on a book but finds she is haunted by one memory in
particular. It was 1905, she was eleven and in love with her
cousin, Steve, painfully watching his ill-fated romance with the
beautiful Damaris. Looking back, Elizabeth discovers a world of
feelings that she knows belong more to adulthood than to childhood,
and as she sees the tragic, doomed love of Steve and Damaris, she
wishes she could be a child forever.
Peopled with superbly realized characters, steeped in the golden
glow of an era fondly recalled, and marked by the prodigious talent
displayed in ". . . And Ladies of the Club", Farewell, Summer is
the moving tale of star-crossed love -- innocent and elusive -- and
of a young girl's coming of age.
