"Ethan Frome" is a classic novel written by Edith Wharton, first published in 1911. Set in the stark and wintry landscape of Starkfield, Massachusetts, the story revolves around the life of Ethan Frome, a farmer trapped in a loveless marriage with his ailing wife, Zeena. The arrival of Zeena's cousin, Mattie Silver, brings a glimmer of hope and passion into Ethan's bleak existence. As a forbidden love blossoms between Ethan and Mattie, the narrative explores themes of love, duty, and the tragic consequences of societal expectations. Wharton masterfully weaves a tale of quiet desperation, unfolding through a series of flashbacks and observations by a unnamed narrator. The haunting and atmospheric prose of "Ethan Frome" captures the essence of unfulfilled desires and the harsh realities of rural life in early 20th-century America.
