Hope enters Ethan's life of despair when his wife's cousin Mattie arrives to help. His life is transformed as he falls in love Mattie but their fate is doomed by the oppressive principles of that era. ©2009 Public Domain; (P)2009 Audio Holdings, LLC Editorial Reviews: Edith Whartons Ethan Frome is an elegiac and intensely affecting story about love, responsibility, and the tragic consequences that ensue when they find themselves at odds. It tells the story of the titular Ethan Frome, a man torn between his ill and ill-natured wife and her bright young cousin, with whom he shares a kinship rarely and deeply felt. Actor Irene Worth performs this gripping audiobook, her voice equal parts tremulous and stern, a perfect fit for straight-laced principles of Fromes old-fashioned world, which find themselves strained to breaking in the course of the novel. Worth has a keen sense for the ebb and flow of this work, and handles its escalating intensity with aplomb.
