is a fairly short novel, but no less intense. Edith Wharton once again introduce a love triangle as The Age of Innocence , but in a rural setting and modest class. Is palpable, as in the former, the restrained passion, the oppressive environment and the burden felt by the protagonist, again a man trapped in a loveless marriage to another woman is what I always wanted. Here too is a relative of the wife, but do not think that the author is repeated, much less. The story here is simpler and has a flash-back mode. In fact, we know Ethan Frome as a crippled and prematurely aged type because of what everyone calls "the accident", but what really happened?
I have seen the version that was made for the film, directed by John Madden and starring Liam Neeson, Patricia Arquette and Joan Allen, a well-chosen cast for my taste. The adjustment is correct (removing some licenses), but I strongly recommend the novel, since it better reflects the desire of the protagonist.
