Vintage. Used; Very Good. Vintage 2009. Trade Paperback. Book Condition: Very Good. Jacket Condition: none. Small remainder mark <br />Nobel laureate Doris Lessing's classic novel of the pivotal summer in one woman's life is a brilliant excursion into the terrifying gulf between youth and old age.<br />As the summer begins, Kate Brown - attractive, intelligent, forty-five, happily married, with a house in the London suburbs and three grown children - has no reason to expect that anything will change. But by summer's end the woman she was - living behind a protective camouflage of feminine charm and caring - no longer exists. The Summer Before the Dark takes us along on Kate's journey: from London to Turkey to Spain, from husband to lover to madness, on the road to a frightening new independence and a confrontation with herself that lets her finally and truly come of age. . 2009.
