ETHAN FROME - EDITH WHARTON TASCHENBUCH

Trapped in a loveless marriage and weighed down by poverty  Ethan Frome's days are enlivened by
the presence of Mattie  his ailing wife Zeena's youthful and charming cousin  who provides help
to the household. When Zeena realizes that her husband's feelings for Mattie go beyond simple
affection  and that they seem to be reciprocated  the scene is set for a confrontation that
will lead to heartbreak  misery and tragedy. A marked contrast to the mordantly satirical
novels of manners set among New York high society for which she is best known  this story set
in rural Massachusetts is considered by many to be Edith Wharton's highest achievement  and is
unsurpassed as a study of forbidden love and thwarted desire.
