Set against the backdrop of a snowbound winter, the story unfolds through the eyes of a visitor to a rural community, revealing the hidden histories and inner lives of its inhabitants. With its consummate handling of the unfolding drama, this novella has remained a compelling and subtle work of fiction for many readers. With an introduction by Dr Pamela Knights, this edition of Ethan Frome offers a unique perspective on Wharton's masterpiece, shedding new light on the author's exploration of the human condition.
