Ethan Frome
by Edith Wharton
Several years ago my mother-in-law asked me if I had ever read Ethan Frome. I said that I had not but had enjoyed The Age of Innocence in college. She assured me that it was good and had stuck with her since she was in college. Now I know why.
Wharton has a great style, and from the first she begins building a mystery by slowly revealing characters. From the outset you know you are reading a tragedy--you just don't know what the tragedy is.
I'm not going to spoil it for you...just know that my heart was racing at several points and this book has haunted my mother-in-law for forty years.
