With an Introduction by Dr Pamela Knights, Department of English Studies, Durham University On a poor farm near Starkfield in western Massachusetts, Ethan Frome struggles to wrest a living from the land, unassisted by his whining and hypochondriacal wife Zeena. When Zeena's young cousin Mattie Silver is left destitute, the only place she can go is Ethan's farm. An embittered man and an enchanting young woman meeting in such circumstances unleash predictable consequences as passions are aroused between the three protagonists, Edith Wharton's characterisation and deft handling of reversals of fortune are so accomplished that Ethan Frome has remained enduringly popular since its first publication in 1911 and is considered her greatest tragic story.

读后感
磕磕绊绊总算把此书读了一遍。 书前言中有一段叙述：美国心理派女作家伊迪丝华顿伊特有的细腻和力量，在她最富盛名的《以坦弗洛美》写出了当初美国从农业国转向工业国的物质问题和道德问题。从这一方面来说此部小说与路遥的《人生》有些相似。 我刚翻开书就有莫名其妙的感...
评分这是一本很容易被忽略的书，薄薄一册，素白的包装，实在显得太不起眼。但就是这样一本不起眼的小书却令我反复读过多次，并且每次读来都仍然不免唏嘘感慨主人公命运的悲惨，同时也为伊迪斯华尔顿的叙述功力所折服。 如果抛开序幕和尾声，那么这部中篇小说的主题内容其实只有四...

评分虽然有几本伊迪丝华顿的小说，不过这倒是第一次看 伊迪丝华顿在这篇不长的小说中，叙述了一段美丽的爱情故事，然而，这里更叙述了人类苦难的生活 风雪中，一个爱情故事变成了凄苦，变成了难以承受的苦难。不过，主人公们还在承受着。 不能不承认，伊迪丝华顿的笔触很细腻，...
用户评价
4 一股濃濃的Bronte味道，敘事結構從Wuthering Heights那裡借來，Zeena則是Jane Eyre裡的閣樓瘋女人，被大雪所掩蓋無愛可訴的貧乏農地，註定了主角宿命性的悲劇。Wharton的語言太美了，濃縮在四個白夜裡，如冬日的蝴蝶般短暫幻滅的熱情，以及隨之而來二十多年的無盡折磨，就像張愛玲的金鎖記裡的月亮，冷眼旁觀地看著這三人殘酷的命運。
评分well touching plot with unexpected and insightful ending
评分这是个非常让人心碎，心痛的故事。伊坦遭受的不幸痛苦折磨简直不堪想象，不忍提及。我们的感觉就像Mrs. Hale的感觉一样。我们知道为什么她在听到Ethan一家时情绪瞬间低沉。 华顿的行文任然非常优雅，对人物的讽刺也隔着纸也能强烈的感受到。
评分有点没意思
评分比悲伤更悲伤的故事，原本恶毒的原配居然忍气吞声地照顾一心赴死却双双残疾的未婚夫和小三那么久。
