A novel by one of the most successful authors among women, The End of Summer tells the story of Jane Marsh, who, after years living in the United States, receives a visit from her grandmother's lawyer, David Stuart, forcing her to return to Scotland to resolve matters related to her inheritance. Returning to the tranquil Elvie, a family estate in the Scottish countryside, where she spent a fascinating childhood, brings back unforgettable memories. Beyond the heather-covered mountains, the memory of her cousin Sinclair holds a special place in her heart, as she dreamed of marrying him.
