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.
