“Adam Sims delivers an excellent narration, capturing Frome’s distinct New England demeanor and secondary characters’ voices with equal attention to detail. The story of doomed lovers transcends despair to capture the imagination, thanks to Sims’s energetic and appealing deep voice. What might be dismissed on the printed page as dreary comes to life…If your English class of years gone by formed your opinion of this novel, try it again with this audiobook. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

The story of Ethan Frome, set deep in the remote countryside of Massachusetts, New England, in a world of small-town prejudice, pettiness and rural poverty, explores the crippling marriage of a young man to an older woman and his love for her vibrant young cousin, Mattie, who lives as a dependent in the Frome household. His feelings lead to a day of explosive emotions with tragic consequences.

Published in 1911, two years before Wharton divorced her husband, the novel integrates the raw experiences of the author’s own life to create a powerful tale of the tragic destruction of innocent love, in a stark, compressed and unified form. Over time, the book has gained the reputation of being Edith Wharton’s best work.
