oh my god, i think i understand the "depressing" reviews now.

ugh, this book! i feel so helpless and awful for ethan. my chest hurts, i think i'm going to cry.

the most heartbreaking thing about this book is that ethan is only 28 years old... 28! !!!

He wanted to say: "We shall never be alone again like this." Instead, he reached down his tobacco-pouch from a shelf of the dresser, put it into his pocket and said: "I guess I can make out to be home for dinner."

the way people go on about how dark, dreary and depressing this book is, i was expecting something awful... call me crazy but i actually really like this so far! the writing is beautiful and i think the characters and storyline are pretty interesting.

edith wharton's writing is beyond beautiful, it's expressive and exquisite. on a hot summer day in texas, i can almost feel the dreary coldness of starkfield.

I figured I'd read this pretty little thing before my new Forster books arrive this weekend (Howard's End and Where Angels Fear to Tread) since I know I'll want to read one of those right away.

I see mixed reviews for Ethan Frome but it's my first Edith Wharton novel, so I hope I like it.
