Ethan Frome, by Edith Wharton

“Ethan Frome has an emotional intensity made all the more poignant by the inarticulate reticence of Wharton's characters—a ménage à trois—consisting of Frome, his querulous wife, and her young girl cousin. 



With quiet assurance, Wharton conveys passion, malaise and tragedy with memorable impact.” 


–Sophia Sackville-West, Evening Standard (London)




Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was one of America’s greatest writers, and in her lifetime published more than forty books, including such masterworks as The Age Of Innocence, The House Of Mirth, and Ethan Frome.
