Let’s Talk About It, Oklahoma continues our series of Myth and Literature with The Summer Before the Dark by Doris Lessing. As the summer begins, Kate Brown — attractive, intelligent, forty five, happily enough married, with a house in the London suburbs and three grown children — has no reason to expect anything will change. But when the summer ends, the woman she was — living behind a protective camouflage of feminine charm and caring — no longer exists.
