Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton

I was walking through the Teen section at the library and picked this up. Then, I started reading it and couldn't put it down.

It's about the title character, his unfulfilling marriage, and his love for his wife's cousin.

Oh my goodness. What a sad, sad story. But in a way that was brilliant. This book was short and stark, but still wrenching. When I read the end, I thought: Oh my gosh.

Tom had to read this in high school and hated it. I am such a big Edith Wharton fan though and have never read this one...I will check it out as soon as I can find a clean copy if it. :)
