Ethan Frome was my first Wharton too ... back around 1983-5 when I was living in the USA. I went on to read several of her novels over the years (about 7-8 I think) and a few short stories (some of which I've reviewed on my blog). I plan to keep reading her on and off. I love the way she often marries the challenge of social strictures with moral decisions, that is, she shows how strong society's ties can be, but how there are still moral choices that can be made (albeit sometimes hard ones).<br />Whispering Gumshttp://whisperinggums.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182711239163480368.post-9705326123898009992012-10-27T17:36:40.930+11:002012-10-27T17:36:40.930+11:00Thank you for the comment re: the companion read. ...Thank you for the comment re: the companion read.

Wharton referred to it as "hot Ethan".JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.com
