Wow! After I finished reading it I proceeded to read all the glowing, rave reviews from my Goodread friends and members and quite frankly, I just don't get why all the glowing, rave reviews! It's a great story and it's hard to go totally wrong with it, but it's an old fashioned story, and more slow and steady than filled with amazing or surprising turns and emotional insights. In the movie ETHAN FROME, based on Edith Wharton’s 1911 novel, we are first introduced to a crippled Ethan (Liam Neeson) hobbling about his hometown of Starkfield, Massachusetts, through the new preacher. I hope things have changed since. I somehow always feel I must assign many types of superlatives to the magnificent & spectacular Edith Wharton! Liam Neeson is entirely convincing in this role.

In a little less than 200 pages, she conveys a sense of bleakness so complete that it borders on the sadistic.

These poor kids. Welcome back. There are scenes between her and Neeson where dialogue is not needed. The story is. For me, this novel is not Wharton’s best work, but still scores an easy 4 stars. Top 200 of all time "Rotten Tomatoes Is … Directed by John Madden. The youngest of three children, Edith spent her early years touring Europe with her parents and, upon the family's return to the United States, enjoyed a privileged childhood in New York and Newport, Rhode Island. Where did this come from? In 1975, he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism.

Why was "Ethan Frome" chosen as assigned reading?

Zeena, not a beauty, likes nursing sick people, the capable woman knows what to do, unlike the hapless Frome, but soon develops a strange illness herself, while idle, seeing many doctors, they tell her what she wants to hear, given some pills, advice and then off to another one. Because March is women's history month, I made it a point to only read women authors over the course of the month. Do any readers have a good idea of how old Ethan was at the time of Wharton's sledding scene?

Start by marking “Ethan Frome” as Want to Read: Error rating book. In this regard, I decided to read Ethan Frome, Edith Wharton's tragic novella. He begins to daydream, neglects his not prosperous farm and negligible mill, thinking about pleasant thoughts, their few walks and rides together... bliss. Ever read a book as required reading (in high school or college) and then, rediscover it as an adult? The new preacher takes an interest in him and soon learns the tragic tale of Frome's life. She is still the villain. The novel is a framed narrative. Natalie Jenner wrote for years, finishing five novels, but never quite landed a publishing deal. These poor kids. There are no approved quotes yet for this movie. It was a quick read with an unexpected ending and held my attention to the end. The youngest of three children, Edith spent her early years touring Europe with her parents and, upon the family's return to the United States, enjoyed a privileged childhood in New York and Newport, Rhode Island. Years ago, as a younger and more hale man, Ethan married Zeena (Joan Allen), perhaps mistakenly, as "compensation" for her giving up part of her life to nurse Ethan's mother.

Where did this come from? Jesus H Christ but this is bleak stuff!

Wharton came from the high society of New York City which she so adeptly portrayed in The Age of Innocence and The House of Mirth. I have been on a bit of a four-star roll recently and am beginning to fear that I accidentally pressed against my generous ratings button when I was slumped against the bookcase last week trying to figure out what to read next.

The classic novel of despair, forbidden emotions, and sexual undercurrents set against the austere New England countryside. I started reading this on the Serial Reader app but finally paid for the full version so I didn't have to wait so long to finish it.

What Zeena cannot foresee is the attraction that develops during the course of a year between her husband and Mattie. Admittedly, they succeed in providing excellent motivation for her nastiness, but the audience doesn't develop much empathy -- or sympathy -- for her. Everything about him, from his mimicking of the injured man's walk to the pained facial expressions in close-ups, shows how in touch he is with the role. But Madden doesn't give us a reason to see the movie instead of reading the book, and "Ethan Frome" is a very long slog through grim pastures.

Based on Edith Wharton's novel, it contains elements of many genres -- mystery, drama, tragedy, and romance, none of which are overplayed. Movie & TV guides. Somehow "Ethan Frome" seems more acted against than acting, more of a passive victim of his own mopery than a tragic hero. This book is a good one to read if you live with someone who has also read it. The same stone could adorn "Ethan Frome," a film on unrelieved dreariness in which love is erased by its worst enemy, irony.
