My Christmas's book


Autor: Edith Wharton

Summary: Ethan Frome is an isolated farmer trying to scrape out a meager living while also tending to his frigid, demanding and ungrateful wife Zeena.  He study in a small town in Massachusetts. His wife's cousin Mattie arrives to help. His life is transformed as he falls in love with Mattie but their fate is doomed Ethan Frome is a compelling classic of American Literature.
It is likely that the accident in the story is based on a real life incident that occurred in Lenox, Massachusetts in 1904

Personal Opinion: I don't like so much the book, because i don't understand, but is nice.
