The Summer House

"A work of astonishing illumination and delight . . . so edgy, bright and subversive about women's inner lives and experience."-- The New York Times Book Review "Her style is succinct, her humor dry. . . . Unputdownable."-- The Spectator "The subtlety of James, the comedy of Spark, the penetrating--and the deep, unflinching--eye of Jane Austen."-- Kirkus Reviews The novels describe from three points of view the circumstances surrounding a wedding which, at the last minute, fortunately fails to take place. Alice Thomas Ellis(1932--2005) was a novelist, essayist, and fiction editor.
