In the frozen isolation of rural New England, Ethan Frome lives a life defined by duty, disappointment, and silence.

Trapped in an unhappy marriage to the sickly and demanding Zeena, Ethan has long resigned himself to a narrow existence on his struggling farm. But when Zeena’s young cousin Mattie comes to stay, her warmth and vitality awaken something in him that he thought had disappeared forever.

As Ethan and Mattie are drawn closer together, longing collides with obligation, and the possibility of escape begins to seem almost within reach. Yet in the stark winter landscape of Starkfield, choices carry consequences that cannot be undone.

Spare, haunting, and psychologically acute, Edith Wharton’s Ethan Frome is a devastating portrait of forbidden desire, loneliness, and the terrible cost of lives constrained by circumstance.
