Representaion To Books The Summer of Katya

In the golden summer of 1914, Jean-Marc Montjean, recently graduated from medical school, comes to the small French village of Salies to assist the village physician. His first assignment is to treat the brother of a beautiful woman named Katya Treville. As he and her family become friendly, he realizes they are haunted by an old, dark secret . . . but he can’t help falling deeply in love with Katya. Jean-Marc is warned by Katya’s brother that she is delicate and that he should curb his attentions, but he is young, hopeful, and in love . . . and he is certain that Katya returns his affections. When Jean-Marc learns that the Trevilles are planning to leave the village forever, he insists on a final meeting with Katya. That meeting and the events that follow turn what was an idyllic romance into an unending nightmare. Katya’s secret is revealed in a thrilling tale that is part love story and part psychological thriller, and the chilling climax will stay with the reader long after the last page is turned.

Horrifying at the endI was sure I had read this book many years ago, but couldn't remember the plot, so I read it again. Having just finished reading it, I recognized the very end of the story: psycological horror at its very best.

Just finished THE SUMMER OF KATYA by the author Trevanian, pen name of Rodney William Whitaker (1931-2005). A psychological thriller, it tells of a young Basque doctor who takes a position assisting a village doctor in France during the last summer before World War I. He meets and falls in love with a beautiful, mysterious young woman who, with her roguish and spoiled twin brother and their academic father well on his way to insanity, share a horrendous, deep, dark, tragic secret.

4.5 stars. Great book and so well-written. It created a subtle feeling of suspense throughout that made me not want to put it down. The excellent writing was both poignant and witty.
