Ethan Frome & Selected Stories (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) by Edith Wharton
5.0
Ok, so I started this a very long time ago; I read the first short story back in October!
I've already read [b:Ethan Frome|5246|Ethan Frome|Edith Wharton|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1389822254l/5246._SY75_.jpg|132919] and was not in the market to be depressed again, so rather than rereading the whole thing, I skimmed through some of my favorite parts. I really bought this for those four short stories at the end, and they didn't disappoint at all.
The Pretext (10/9/19)
A classic Edith story, depressing and romantic and wonderful and sad!
Afterward (10/19/19)
Just goes to show Edith's versatility, this was like a gothic ghost story that actually gave me the chills.
Legacy (12/13/19)
My least favorite of the bunch, but still great.
Xingu (1/25/20)
This was actually the funniest thing I've ever read. It was a total satire of these people who sit there and try to be cultural but actually know nothing. It was truly, truly brilliant.
