Ethan Frome - Edith Wharton - Bog

In the rather joyless and isolated town of Starkfield, Massachussets, which sinks in snow for most of the year, people's emotions are also rather icy. Edith Wharton tells with great narrative skill of a doomed world that comes alive in the characters of her novel. Farmer Ethan Frome is bound by a love triangle with his wife and her younger cousin Mattie. Their lives are marked by love and loneliness. A story of passionate rebellion and tragic passivity, of speechlessness and the inability to escape fate. Gröls Classics - English Edition
