About this audiobook

Set against the stark, icy backdrop of a New England winter, Ethan Frome is a haunting tale of love, betrayal, and the suffocating grip of societal expectations. Ethan Frome, a quiet and introspective man, finds himself trapped in a loveless marriage to the bitter and ailing Zeena. When Zeena's cousin, the vibrant and beautiful Mattie Silver, comes to stay with them, Ethan's life is upended as an intense emotional bond grows between him and Mattie.

As their unspoken love deepens, Ethan grapples with the weight of his duties, the constraints of poverty, and the chilling silence of his rural existence. Their yearning for freedom and passion clashes with the harsh realities of their world, leading to a heart-wrenching climax that will linger with you long after the story ends.

Narrated with vivid descriptions and psychological depth, this timeless classic explores themes of desire, isolation, and the devastating consequences of unfulfilled dreams. Immerse yourself in this emotionally charged audiobook, where every word captures the frostbitten beauty of the landscape and the aching hearts of its characters. Perfect for fans of literary fiction and poignant tales of human struggle.
