From the rear cover
A sweeping Victorian epic of lost love, lies, jealousy, and rebellion set in colonial Barbados
Barbados, 1954: Emily Dawson has always been the poor cousin in a prosperous English merchant clan. Everyone knows that the family's shipping business will go to her cousin. But when her grandfather dies, Emily receives an unexpected inheritance: Peverills, a sugar plantation in Barbados.
When Emily travels to Barbados, she finds Peverills a burnt-out shell, reduced to ruins in 1816. Why would her grandfather leave her a property in ruins? Why are the neighboring plantation owners, so eager to acquire Peverills?
A brilliant, multigenerational saga that begins in the years of slavery and ends in a time of industry and new beginnings, The Summer Country boldly unravels the legacy of two families, and the secret ties that bind them.
