A review by mellied1975
Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton

5.0

What a brilliantly constructed novella. I admire Edith Wharton's writing more and more as I dive deeper into her work. Ethan Frome is a very grim, tragic, wintry story and, to be honest, one I don't think is going to be for everyone. Just look at the shockingly low ratings so many people have given it here on Goodreads! It knocked my socks off, though. It's not surprising this book is often taught in school because it packs a lot of literary power in a very small package.
