Classics Revisited - Ethan Frome

Classics Revisited will discuss Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton on Wednesday, November 21, 7-8 pm at the Henry Ford Centennial Library in the Ford Collection Room.


Set against the bleak winter landscape of New England, Ethan Frome tells the story of a poor farmer, lonely and downtrodden, his wife Zeena, and her cousin, the enchanting Mattie Silver. In the playing out of this short novel's powerful and engrossing drama, Edith Wharton constructed her least characteristic and most celebrated book.
