The Librarian

I'm not sure I would like to continue reading Summer. Charity Royall's resemblance to someone hurtful I know is just unbelievably striking that every word said of the character pierces my heart. My father, in turn, I see in Lawyer Royall, although, in their little world, I think he is considered a Lucius Harney.

Edith Wharton, as always, is magnificent. I just have never encountered a fictional character more vile. I do not think I'm ready for Charity. Next year, maybe.
