KÆRLIGHEDSROMAN TIL FANS AF DAVID NICHOLLS, JOJO MOYES OG ALAN HOLLINGHURST Fire venner. Tyve år. Fire uventede skæbner. Eva, Benedict og søskendeparret Sylvie og Lucien er uadskillelige venner, men da de bliver færdige på universitetet i 1998, skilles deres veje. Eva har i årevis været håbløst forelsket i playboyen Lucien. Nu er hun ivrig efter at komme videre og samtidig lægge sin socialistiske opvækst bag sig ved hjælp af en karriere i bankverdenen. Benedict, som længe har været forelsket i Eva, kaster sig over en Ph.d., mens Sylvie og Lucien fører en mere bohemeagtig tilværelse. Men efterhånden som de alle fire lægger de sorgløse 20’ere bag sig, må de hver især erkende, at ikke alle deres drømme er blevet til virkelighed. Hver især opdager de, at de længes efter både deres ungdom og hinanden. Knuste hjerter og kuldsejlede karrierer fører firkløveret sammen igen på en måde, som ingen af dem nogensinde ville have forventet. Uovervindelig sommer er en atmosfærefyldt roman om at komme videre i kølvandet på de skuffelser, livet kan byde på, og en stærk påmindelse om, hvor stor betydning kærlighed og venskab har i en verden, der er i stadig forandring.
