Bound to his difficult wife, Zeena, and drawn helplessly toward her young cousin Mattie Silver, Ethan finds himself caught between moral obligation and the desperate hope of happiness. What follows is one of the most devastatingly controlled works in American fiction: brief, severe, and almost merciless in its emotional force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1911, \u003cem\u003eEthan Frome\u003c\/em\u003e shows Wharton working in a darker and more compressed register than the society novels for which she is often best known. Instead of New York drawing rooms, she gives readers frozen roads, failing farms, unspoken resentment, and lives shaped by hardship and restraint.
