The narrator tells the story based on an account from observations at Frome's house when he had to stay there during a winter storm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e called Ethan Frome \"a compelling and haunting story\". Edith Wharton was able to write an appealing book and separate it from her other works, where her characters in Ethan Frome are not of the elite upper class. However, the problems that the characters endure are still consistently the same, where the protagonist has to decide whether or not to fulfill their duty or follow their heart. Some critics have read the novel as a veiled autobiography where they have interpreted the likeness between Ethan's situation with his wife in the novel to Wharton's unhappy marriage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edith Wharton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1499744331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781499744330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 4.90w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e10031 \/ Ethan Frome (Unabridged)\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Edith Wharton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979733565695,"sku":"9781499744330","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a3525f4c-aa3d-401d-b907-f46606ea187d.jpg?v=1683246699","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ethan-frome-edith-wharton-9781499744330","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
