In A Summer Season by Elizabeth Taylor

In A Summer Season by Elizabeth Taylor

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.

Witty, hilarious, astringent, devastating - her impeccable style can do anything and with seemingly effortless ease
One of Taylor's best novels * New Statesman *
It's smashing. . When you've finished In a Summer Season, you are totally fired up to read every book that Taylor ever wrote
Jane Austen, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbara Pym, Elizabeth Bowen - soul-sisters all
Her stories remain with one, indelibly, as though they had been some turning point in one's own experience
One of the most underrated novelists of the twentieth century

Elizabeth Taylor (1912-1975) is increasingly recognised as one of the best British writers of the twentieth century. She wrote her first book, At Mrs Lippincote's, during the war while her husband was in the Royal Air Force, and this was followed by eleven further novels and a children's book, Mossy Trotter. Her acclaimed short stories appeared in publications including Vogue, the New Yorker and Harper's Bazaar.
