Classic Drama: In a Summer Season

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Elizabeth Taylor 's novel is dramatised by Jennifer Howarth.
Kate, a well-heeled widow, causes a sensation in her conventional community in the late fifties when she falls for the charms of a younger man and marries him. She attracts both the envy and pity of her family and friends as they speculate whether her new-found happiness can last beyond one golden summer.
