Beschreibung:
Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome tells the story of a man who is trapped in a loveless marriage and finds escape in the company of his wife's cousin. The novel is narrated by an unspecified third person, and most of the action is limited to the house where Ethan and his wife live with her parents. The novel explores the dynamics of this dysfunctional family and the ways in which each member is trapped by their own circumstances.
A classic of American Literature and a powerful story taking place against the cold, gray, bleakness of a New England winter. Ethan Frome is trying to run a farm while also tending to his frigid, demanding and ungrateful wife Zeena. A ray of hope enters Ethan's life when his wife's cousin Mattie arrives to help. His life is transformed as he falls in love Mattie but their fate is doomed by the stifling conventions of the time.
