Welcome to the dog days. Blink and summer will be over. But what if it was three summers? I mean what if you read Three Summers by Greek author Margarita Liberaki, first published in 1946? A sprawling house, a garden, three sisters named Maria, Infanta, and Katerina, discovering life and love and trying to sus out what the adults are doing. A modern Greek coming-of-age novel could be the perfect chaser for all that Odyssey stuff, eh? With a gorgeous Bonnard painting on the cover -- you can't go wrong with lit fic from ; they're lovely to look at, and even better to read -- Three Summers, translated from the Greek by Karen Van Dyck, is our first featured book for Women in Translation month. Paired with Summer Houses, new from , a gorgeous coffee table book full of inspiring spreads and reminding us that physical media rules.
