Ethan Frome is a novel by Edith Wharton, published in 1911. The story is set in rural Massachusetts and explores themes of isolation, desire, and the limitations imposed by social and economic circumstances. Ethan Frome, a farmer, finds himself trapped in a loveless marriage with his wife Zeena, a sickly and bitter woman. The arrival of Mattie Silver, Zeena's young cousin, into their home brings a ray of hope and a longing for a different life for Ethan. The novel is a poignant portrayal of despair and the struggle for happiness in an oppressive environment.
Edith Newbold Wharton was an American writer and designer. Wharton drew upon her insider's knowledge of upper-class New York society to portray, realistically, the lives and morals of the Gilded Age. In 1921, she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her novel The Age of Innocence. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1996. Her other well-known works are The House of Mirth, the novella Ethan Frome, and several notable ghost stories.
