A Shower of Summer Days - Paperback

by May Sarton (Author)

So begins May Sarton's evocative early novel about Violet Gordon's return, after thirty years, to her childhood home, where much had to be settled in one brief summer--fateful decisions about a marriage, a love affair, and a career. No influence was more important than the splendid old Dene's Court itself, and the memories it held.

Back Jacket

'At long last in early June the Gordons were expected home at Dene's Court, the house in Ireland which Violet Dene Gordon had inherited.' This is the beginning of May Sarton's evocative story of people intricately bound to each other, and to a beautiful old house, by a mesh of powerful memories stretching far back into the past.
