I encourage you to pick up Ethan Frome again. Edith Wharton is one of my very favorite writers, and while Ethan Frome is not one of her best books (IMO), it gets a bad rap because of the way it was taught to our generation. As an adult read, it's actually beautifully written and poignant. (Wharton's best book, IMO, is House of Mirth. It's one of my all-time favorites. A comfort read, for me, for sure, especially in audiobook form.)
I wondered if anyone would step up to defend either of those books! I have heard this about Ethan Frome many times and I did buy a used copy years ago to one day revisit, so maybe it's time?
