Ethan Frome toils at his New Enoland farm while struggling to maintain a bearable existence with his sickly and judgemental wife, Zeena. He finds himself increasingly drawn to Mattie, Zeena's cousin, who helps around the house. Although she represents the possibility of happiness, they are trapped by their hopeless situation. And when Zeena becomes suspicious and arranges for Mattie to be sent away, events take a tragic turn.
This heart-breaking portrait, from the author of The House of Mirth, is an intimate look at choices not made and lives not yet lived. First published in 1911 and adapted for film, Ethan Frome remains for many the most subtle and moving of Wharton's works.

Work Description
`I had the story, bit by bit, from various people, and, as generally happens in such cases, each time it was a different story.' Who is this strange man Ethan Frome? What is his dreadful secret? . . . Amidst a bleak New England winter landscape, powerful emotions lead to far-reaching consequences, when Ethan Frome struggles to break free from a loveless marriage.
