Summer & Smoke - Paperback

by Tennessee Williams (Author)

A profoundly affecting play, Summer and Smoke is the haunting love story between a spiritual Southern girl and the young doctor who entrances her and causes her to question her faith. Each is attracted to the other but because of their divergent attitudes toward life, they resign themselves to being driven away from the other. Not until the end does the doctor realize that the girl's idealism is ultimately right, and while she is still in love with him, it turns out that neither time nor circumstances will allow the two to come together.
