Summary

A masterpiece by Edith Wharton, author of The Age of Innocence.

Winter in a Massachusetts village serves as a backdrop to Edith Wharton's masterpiece about a man with little hope of escaping his bleak future. Married to an older woman named Zeena, Ethan Frome finds himself drawn to his wife's cousin, Mattie. Although he dreams of fleeing his loveless marriage and stealing away with Mattie, Ethan has neither the means nor the will. Mattie offers another solution, a desperate act borne out of despair that may result in even greater tragedy.
