A Certain Summer

Meer over het boek

Set in 1948, the story explores the impact of World War II on a seemingly unchanging island summer colony, where multi-generational families cling to nostalgia. As the islanders confront the uncertainty of returning to their "old days," Helen Wadsworth grapples with the lingering effects of the war, suggesting that personal and collective histories are not easily left behind. The narrative delves into themes of change, resilience, and the struggle to reclaim a lost sense of normalcy.
