Synopsis "Ethan Frome"

An old, limping man captures the attention of a newcomer to the rural town of Starkfield, Massachusetts, who sets out to learn the tragic story behind Ethan Frome's physical scars and subdued interactions. As the story skips back in time twenty-four years, a lifetime of misfortunes, a misguided love affair, and a terrible sledding accident come to light in Wharton's 1911 tale, set against the backdrop of stark New England winters, of a man unable to escape the harsh hand of fate.

Edith Wharton was born in New York in 1862. Her maiden name was Edith Newbold Jones. Her family was upper class, comparable to European aristocracy, and consequently she received a meticulous private education. In 1907, she settled in France, where she became a disciple and friend of Henry James. Her most famous work is The Age of Innocence, published in 1920 and winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1921. She is considered the most brilliant American novelist of her generation, admired by intellectuals of the stature of Henry James, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Jean Cocteau, and Ernest Hemingway.
