Resumen del Editor
Lucinda longs for intimacy, her natural desire to be embraced often commanding her attention. Her attempts to satisfy are hampered by the scar. She is fearful of love, and in turn, fearful of happiness in this world.
Having lived most of her young adult life in the shadow of a dark secret, the prospect of happiness remains a distant hope. Until July 4, 1840, when the chance encounter with an intriguing young gentleman begins to reshape her world.
On the evening of the Sturgeon Moon, after a night of dance, Lucinda is lifted from the darkness, her life changed evermore.
As summer wanes, the evil that dwells dormant within the depths of her soul, reemerges. In desperation, on November 4, 1840, she sits to pen a letter of distress titled "Happiness", her hope for love seemingly lost forever.
A pause-resisting romance, steeped in historical facts, the Summer of 1840 evocatively reminds us that our distant past is not so distant at all.

Historia
Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.

Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with my best friend’s little sister before our lives went in different directions. Now, I’m the grumpy to Juliet’s sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover. And find the house has only one bed. Located under a mirrored ceiling.

Iris Nightingale is more than okay. She has her life planned out to a perfect schedule. Work, run, sleep, repeat. She spends her quiet Friday nights sitting alone on a bench in the park, trying to push back the memories that no amount of running can help her escape. But one evening, there’s someone else on her bench - Hunter. Tall, wry and infuriating: everything about him gets under Iris’s skin. Little does she know that he's about to upset more than just her routines...

A very enjoyable glimpse into the past!
I found this book well researched and accurate yet not dry and dusty as many period novels can be. The author spins an intriguing tale through the eyes of several characters in an area of the country that I am very familiar with as I live less than 5 miles from Lake Singletary. He does a superb job of breathing life into these characters and allowing us to see them as fellow humans, not all that different from ourselves and our own lives. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in understanding what life might have been like in 1840 or who may want a new an enjoyable adventure through this period in America.

Transported in time! Great listen for a road trip!
The audible version of Summer of 1840 is delightful – not only for its historical veracity, content and immersion into early nineteenth century life, but because of the narrator’s talent of bringing the story to life in dialect, inflection and song. Poppy Royana engages the listener in a sensory treasure, carefully described by the author Art Martin. While this is a tour de force in historical drama, contemporary issues of gender, sexuality, illness, romance and love are surprisingly explored by Martin as part of the unchanging complexity of the human condition. Human crises, as well as human perseverance are brought to bear within the author’s close attention to detail in architecture, costume, foodways, and the daily machinations of ever day life. This is an informative, interesting and compelling read, complete with the elements of surprise in the startling conclusion. Summer of 1840 is a lovely historical journey that transports the listener back into an earlier time, entertaining the listener while on the road of their own adventure.
