THE SUMMER PEOPLE by John Rowe Townsend
September 29th, 2006 by admin
There’s not much to say about THE SUMMER PEOPLE except that it’s a perfect book. I don’t even know why. It just is. Elegant and simple, straight forward and human, historical and yet absolutely relevant.
Some said it better than me:
A lovely story it is, with all the power of nostalgia. A very superior novel in all ways. - Publisher Weekly
Exceptionally well-written…powerful and disciplined. - Horn Book
Get it. Read it. Love it….
Read well,
Joelle
P.S. Your library should have it, but if they don’t, there are forty copies on abe books for next to nothing. And I’ll be buying one since the husband spilled water all over this copy!
