A review by krislynn09
Ethan Frome & Selected Stories (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) by Edith Wharton

4.0

I love the way Wharton writes. She so intricately weaves a web of intimacy with her words where you feel almost as if you are the character she is writing about, and that she has gotten nothing wrong in her assessment of you. Ethan Frome was my favorite story in the collection, and it in and of itself deserves 5 stars for the way she sets up how the story is presented through an outsider’s perspective and the way she reels you into Frome’s state of mind (in the past). I loved this so much, everything down to the book’s cover and the notes detailing Wharton’s life and influences.

This has (finally) gotten me back to my “classics” kick (which is well overdue seeing as reading YA has microwaved my brain and I need to get it back to its proper form).
