Summer of '42

Summer of '42 by raucher, herman. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780440083481.

Bestseller became a blockbuster movie launching model Jennifer ONeill as everyones hearthrob. A book that is piognant with moments of riotous humor balanced by warmth and sadness. Beautifully written, this is a love story with a bite. Much like life, the reader will laugh with the characters in this book and also cry. Essentially, this is every young boys fantasy, a golden summer when he was fifteen years old and she was twenty-two (of course today there is a word for this, but back in 1971 in a more innocent era it was called a "coming-of-age" story.
