Summary
Penguin Classics presents Edith Wharton’s Ethan Frome, adapted for audio and available as a digital download as part of the Penguin English Library series. Read by Nathan Osgood.
He seemed a part of the mute melancholy landscape, an incarnation of its frozen woe, with all that was warm and sentient in him fast bound below the surface.
Ethan Frome works his unproductive farm and struggles to maintain a bearable existence with his difficult, suspicious, and hypochondriac wife, Zeena. But when Zeena’s vivacious cousin enters their household as a "hired girl", Ethan finds himself obsessed with her and with the possibilities for happiness she comes to represent. In one of American fiction’s finest and most intense narratives, Edith Wharton moves this ill-starred trio towards their tragic destinies. Part of a series of vintage recordings taken from the Penguin Archives. Affordable, collectable, quality productions - perfect for on-the-go listening.

Warning
The text is corrupted in a few places which is rather disconcerting- otherwise very enjoyable if harrowing

So good I listened to it twice in a row
Beautiful narration of this classic text. Wharton’s prose is breathtakingly evocative. I can see why this heartbreaking story was made into a film but who needs a film when the descriptions of place and person are so cinematic?
