Told in the form of a long flashback, Ethan Frome is the story of tragic, forbidden romance at the turn of the twentieth century. Complementing the descriptions of the bleak Starkfield landscape is the protagonist's own emptiness, which ceases when his ill wife's cousin Mattie comes to work for them. Ethan falls in love and battles with his own conscience about whether or not to reveal his true feelings for Mattie.
