Ethan Frome

Edith Wharton lead me on, then pulled my ending away from me. Then, when I thought all was lost, she lead me down the hopeful path again. Again, in vain. Only later do I discover that, what I esteemed to be the perfect ending, might have been made all-the-more fabulous.

Brilliantly Written. Very Easy. DO NOT SKIP THE INTRODUCTION! Which was incredibly difficult to get through, so buck up.
