Synopsis

"A work of astonishing illumination and delight . . . so edgy, bright and subversive about women's inner lives and experience."--Francine Prose, New York Times Book Review

"The subtlety of James, the comedy of Spark, the penetrating--and the deep, unflinching--eye of Jane Austen."--Kirkus Reviews

*A New York Times Notable Book*

In The Summer House trilogy, three very different women, with three very distinct perspectives, narrate three very witty novels concerning one disastrous wedding in the offing.

The Clothes in the Wardrobe: Nineteen-year-old Margaret feels more trepidation than joy at the prospect of her marriage to forty-year-old Syl.

The Skeleton in the Cupboard: Syl's mother, Mrs. Monro, doesn't know quite what to make of her son's life, but she knows Margaret should not marry him.

The Fly in the Ointment: And then there's Lili, the free spirit who is determined that the wedding shall not happen, no matter the consequences.
