A marked departure from Edith Wharton’s usual ironic contemplation of the fashionable New York society to which she belonged, Ethan Frome is a sharply etched portrait of the simple inhabitants of a nineteenth-century New England village. The protagonist, Ethan Frome, is a man tormented by a passionate love for his ailing wife’s young cousin. Trapped by the bonds of marriage and the fear of public condemnation, he is ultimately destroyed by that which offers him the greatest chance at happiness. Like The House of Mirth and many of Edith Wharton’s other novels, Ethan Frome centers on the power of local convention to smother the growth of the individual. Written with stark simplicity, this powerful and tragic novel has long been considered one of Wharton’s greatest works. Review: This book will both make and ruin your life - THIS BOOK! I can't even fully describe in a review my feelings on this book because they are so intense that i would probably exceed the word limit. I read this book in high school and it is truly so beautiful and well written that when certain things transpired i quite literally threw my book at a wall and broke it in half because of my sheer fury at Edith Wharton who obviously wanted me to feel like a black pit of despair. PRO's : This book will change you as a person. The book is so well written that it will make you a better writer just by having read it. Edith Wharton knows how to write an amazing unconventional love story that you will feel so vividly that you will think you are one of the characters. This is probably one of the greatest books ever written CON's: SPOILER: (it might not have the happiest of endings) This book will make you think that you are skipping around in a beautiful field of daises of joy and laughter and wonderment heading towards happily ever after highway - then out of nowhere because WE LIVE IN A CRUEL CRUEL WORLD you will realize that you are NOT headed to happily ever highway but actually to the darkest pit of despair and agony and horrific pain that you will wonder why did you ever want to read this book in the first place? You will wonder if your whole life is a LIE because nothing ever turns out as it seems. When you are done reading this book you will probably need a glass of wine, or a sedative, or a marathon of your favorite comedy tv show because you will feel like a dark cloud of torment and woe sits over you mocking your once faith in humanity and literature. You will never again trust any book as "safe" because as dear old Edith has taught us, writers love your misery. So overall i would highly recommend this book Review: Good story - This was an excellent audio book. I really liked the reading and it made you feel like you were living in the small, cold town. The ending was a huge bummer , but it was a good read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #133,833 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #136 in Classic American Literature #556 in Classic Literature & Fiction #1,714 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,955 Reviews | ## Images ![Ethan Frome (Signet Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81jRVTQd82L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book will both make and ruin your life *by J***E on December 5, 2013* THIS BOOK!

I really liked the reading and it made you feel like you were living in the small, cold town. The ending was a huge bummer , but it was a good read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent Novel *by E***S on December 8, 2002* I thoroughly enjoy reading this novel. It is one of the few that I have read more than once. It is short, but it is dynamic. One can read it in an afternoon. The main character is such a pitiful ruin of a man. He had so much potential, but was trapped by family obligations and his strong sense of duty to a dying farm and a cold, unfeeling wife. His last chance for love is destroyed when his selfish, bitter wife decides out of jealousy and revenge to send Ethan's true love away. The lovers decide to die together and even that plan goes awry when the sled they are on does not hit the target properly. The outcome is devastating and heartbreaking. Ethan is even more trapped after the accident and his lover becomes worse than his wife ever was. This story is wonderfully written. It is a story within a story and is a must read for anyone. One can not help but get lost in Ms. Wharton's sad tale. Perhaps this particular story is a bit autobiographical if one chooses to read about Ms. Wharton's life. She, too, lost at love. Look for lots of symbolism in the setting and in her descriptions. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/3505424-ethan-frome-signet-classics](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/3505424-ethan-frome-signet-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
