«Summer Things» is the comic novel by Joseph Connolly, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (371 pages, in English).
The story follows several middle-class British characters who meet on a seaside holiday: Elizabeth, who longs for a traditional summer by the sea; her husband Howard, who funds the plan; the envious neighbour Dotty; Melody, a single mother; and Miles, in search of action. Snobbery, misunderstandings and absurd situations mix in a summer comedy of entanglements.
The novel was originally published in 1998; this 2003 edition is the version tied to the film adaptation, as indicated on the cover.
Recommended for readers seeking British comedy, summer entanglements and a satirical portrait of the English middle class.
Joseph Connolly is an English journalist, novelist, and non-fiction writer.
