Title: Exquisite character development
Review: Edith Wharton gives us a beautiful gift with Ethan Frome. She paints such vivid, lovely, yet desperate images with words; you can envision the blue colors of the snow of New England so clearly. The greatest strength of this novella is its character portrayal. Wharton makes the reader care so much for Ethan and Mattie...and even feel the great sadness of Zeena's life. The reader leaves this story with a greater amount of compassion for the needs and longings of fellow humans.
