Edith Wharton (1862–1937), was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist, short story writer, and designer. Many of Wharton's novels are characterized by a subtle use of dramatic irony. Having grown up in upper-class pre-World War I society, Wharton became one of its most astute critics. In such works as The House of Mirth and The Age of Innocence she employed both humor and profound empathy to describe the lives of New York's upper class and the vanishing of their world in the early years of the 20th century. In contrast, she used a harsher tone in her novel Ethan Frome to convey the atmosphere of lower-class rural Massachusetts. In addition to writing several respected novels, Wharton produced a wealth of short stories and is particularly well regarded for her ghost stories.
This dark, regionally-flavored novella chronicles the lives of three people on a small Massachusetts farm - a sharp departure from Wharton's usual novelistic settings in American high society. Farmer Ethan Frome marries whining hypochondriac Zeena in a fit of bad judgment, and spends his scant earnings from the farm to pay for her medicines. When Zeena's impoverished cousin Mattie comes to live with the two, however, Ethan and Mattie fall madly in love. Deciding a future together is impossible, the lovers attempt suicide -ending in a fate worse then the death they so desperately longed for.

Softcover. Condición: Good. No Jacket. Ethan Frome, a poor, downtrodden New England farmer is trapped in a loveless marriage to his invalid wife, Zeena. His ambition and intelligence are oppressed by Zeena's cold, conniving character. When Zeena's young cousin Mattie arrives to help care for her, Ethan is immediately taken by Mattie's warm, vivacious personality. They fall desperately in love as he realizes how much is missing from his life and marriage. Tragically, their love is doomed by Zeena's ever-lurking presence and by the social conventions of the day. Ethan remains torn between his sense of obligation and his urge to satisfy his heart's desire up to the suspenseful and unanticipated conclusion.
