A review by jace_stew
Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton

4.0

The short but bittersweet story of two repressed people trying to overcome their circumstances to reach out to one another, be together or to enjoy a brief connection. Wharton's amazing writing wonderfully visualizes her characters in their worlds and how they see them. It's a well-worn tale just expertly told economically without a loss of pacing, insights and character development.
