robotwitch's review against another edition

4.0

I'm still digesting this, and keep flip-flopping between three stars and four. It started out addictive, and intriguing. But as we go into Ethan's story...I'm not sure. There were unbelievable elements to it, not least the climax. But Wharton's writing is beautiful and the characters are strong. Overall, a short book about a sad man.
