The Greengage Summer is a novel by Rumer Godden that tells the story of the Grey family, particularly focusing on the coming-of-age of the eldest daughter, Cecil. While on holiday in the French Champagne region, the five English siblings find themselves on their own after their mother is hospitalized. The children are left in the care of Eliot, a charming and enigmatic Englishman staying at the same hotel. As the summer progresses, the lush and sensuous surroundings of the French countryside, along with the mysteries surrounding Eliot, catalyze the transition from childhood to adulthood, especially for Cecil and her sister Joss. The novel explores themes of innocence, seduction, and the complexities of growing up, all set against the backdrop of a languid and heated French summer.
