Some interesting themes, but overly obtuse metaphors get in the way here. Especially the dinner of donuts and pickles...

After reading "The Age of Innocence", "The House of Mirth", and now "Ethan Frome", I just wonder if Edith Wharton ever wrote anything happy. All were quite good, but they're among the most relentlessly depressing things I've ever read.
