The Perfect Summer: England 1911, Just Before the Storm

Juliet Nicolson

4.9/5 (15416 ratings)

Description:'The Perfect Summer' chronicles a glorious English summer a century ago, when the world was on the cusp of irrevocable change. Through the tight lens of four months, Juliet Nicolson's rich storytelling gifts rivet us with the sights, colors, and feelings of a bygone era. That summer of 1911 a new king was crowned and the aristocracy was at play, bounding from one house party to the next. But perfection was not for all. Cracks in the social fabric were showing. The country was brought to a standstill by industrial strikes. Temperatures rose steadily to more than 100 degrees; by August deaths from heatstroke were too many for newspapers to report. Drawing on material from intimate and rarely seen sources and narrated through the eyes of a series of exceptional individuals - among them a debutante, a choirboy, a politician, a trade unionist, a butler, and the queen - 'The Perfect Summer' is a vividly rendered glimpse of the twilight of the Edwardian era.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
