Set against a bleak New England background, the novel tells of Frome, his ailing wife Zeena and her companion Mattie Silver, superbly delineating the characters of each as they are drawn relentlessly into a deep-rooted domestic struggle. Burdened by poverty and spiritually dulled by a loveless marriage to an older woman. Frome is emotionally stirred by the arrival of a youthful cousin who is employed as household help. Mattie's presence not only brightens a gloomy house but stirs long-dormant feelings in Ethan. Their growing love for one another, discovered by an embittered wife, presages an ending to this grim tale that is both shocking and savagely ironic. Review: Chilling gets under your skin - It's better than expected, very disturbing and deep. It made me wonder how "kind and loving" Ethan really was to his mother and the other women he eventually had to take care of. There is something I found deeply disturbing about him, more than alittle off. Though one would think his wife, Zeena, to be a pathetic victim; I saw her differently. He grossly devalued her and underestimated her. She got her revenge in a way for his destroying her youth and life. I think poor Mattie was an innocent victim, too niave to realise that Ethan was deeply disturbed. His whole relationship with her seemed entirely his own twisted fantasy and perhaps that makes the ending even more chilling. Three people locked together in hatred, trapped in a hell of one mans creation. Thats my take on it anyway. Its as depressing as "House of Mirth", both to me being cautionary tales of wasted youth and choices not taken. Review: Looks like a smaller knock off version of the actual book ... - For 1.94$ this book is superb. Looks like a smaller knock off version of the actual book that has 117+ pages. But since this book is larger than the others, it is condensed to 77 pages, makes the reading go by a bit quicker. All the same words, same story. Worth the money instead of going to Barnes & Noble. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #24,434 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #586 in Gothic Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 369 Reviews | ## Images ![Ethan Frome (Dover Thrift Editions: Classic Novels) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PQnoXyj2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chilling gets under your skin *by D***E on May 25, 2024* It's better than expected, very disturbing and deep.
