SUMMER’S END

Book ID/图书代码： 07470817C00017

English Summary/英文概要： The end of the old world’ people said about the long hot summer of 1914. It was the last season of optimism, of certainty about the future as the sun set on the Edwardian age. That summer Aunt Tilly comes to stay with her brother the Rector and his four lively daughters in the sleepy Sussex village of Ashden. Aunt Tilly’s visit sparks off a chain of events which threatens to split Ashden apart, in which Agnes Pilbeam, the Rectory palourmaid, and her sweetheart Jamie find themselves bewilderingly caught up. Then in August the lamps go out all over Europe and war bursts open the straitjacket of rural village life. The war will bring tragedy, change and love as private torments and struggles are subjected to the greater need. The challenge will prove too much for some and the making of others.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 19世纪的人们说起1914年漫长的夏季。这是最后的欢乐时光，当爱德华时代，大英帝国不落太阳的没落，人们对未来不确定的展望。那年夏季Tilly姨妈来到苏塞克斯郡的乡下Ashden，和兄弟Rector和四个活泼的侄女同住。Tilly姨妈的到访让Ashden宁静的小镇掀起了一连串的涟漪, 而教区长兄弟的侍女，Agnes Pilbeam,和情人Jamie 发现他们也身陷其中。八月欧洲各地灯火熄灭，而战事的爆发也打破了乡村原有宁静的生活。战争将带来悲剧，变化和爱，因为个人所要历经的磨难和争斗的最大需要。而这一挑战对其中一些人来说将会是无法承受的，而对另一些人来说意味着人生就此发生了彻底的改变。（Sandy）
