ralovesbooks 's review for:
Ethan Frome
by Edith Wharton
Would recommend: Maybe; it's not for everyone
When I borrowed this book from the library for an upcoming book club, the librarian said, "That is probably the saddest book I have ever read." Well, then! I expected to bawl my eyes out, but instead, the book beat up my heart with a meat mallet. Oof. This one lures you in by being picturesque and drowsy, but then the ending packs a wallop. It only confirms my love for Edith Wharton. I didn't cry, but I agree with the librarian.
