Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton was honestly a love tragedy like Romeo and Juliet without dead. The story is about a man named Ethan and his wife Zeena living in a farm being low classed, with his wife having a kidney condition causing her to be sick. Zeena cousin (Mattie) is brought to the home since has nowhere else to go, and they falls madly in love with each other but Zeena is there and she makes sure their love for each other doesn’t turn well. The novel had an honestly tragic ending, it seems that Ethan had a lot of regrets to begin with but the ending just surprised me and made me sad. This books goes to show not all love stories in the novel have happy ending or make the reader happy. The book gave me a lot of imagination because it very detailed from the climate to the features on the characters faces. It wasn’t really an easy read because of the difficult words put in it and I would have to go and search up what it means and how it matches with the sentence and the story. The ending really shocked me, it was very unexpected and surprising and sad, and even though they built up the story to that point I wasn’t expecting any of what was coming to me at all. I recommend this story for those who love romances and tragic stories with surprising finishes. I definitely enjoyed reading this book and would recommend to others.
