Edith Wharton's most widely read work is a tightly constructed and almost
unbearably heartbreaking story of forbidden love in a snowbound New England
village.
This brilliantly wrought, tragic novella explores the repressed emotions and
destructive passions of working-class people far removed from the elevated
social milieu usually inhabited by Wharton's characters. Ethan Frome is a poor
farmer, trapped in a marriage to a demanding and controlling wife, Zeena. When
Zeena's young cousin Mattie enters their household she opens a window of hope in
Ethan's bleak life, but his wife's reaction prompts a desperate attempt to
escape fate that goes horribly wrong. Ethan Frome is an unforgettable story with
the force of myth, featuring realistic and haunting characters as vivid as any
Wharton ever conjured.
