A pair of masterly short novels, featuring an introduction by Elizabeth Strout, the Pulitzer Prizewinning author of Anything Is Possible and My Name Is Lucy Barton
Thought Edith Wharton is best known for her cutting contemplation of fashionable New York, Ethan Frome and Summer are set in small New England towns, far from Manhattans beau monde. Together in one volume, these thematically linked short novels display Whartons characteristic criticism of societys hypocrisy, and her daring exploration of the destructive consequences of sexual appetite. From the wintry setting of Ethan Frome, where a man hounded by community standards is destroyed by the very thing that might bring him happiness, to the florid town of Summer, where a young womans first romance projects her into a dizzying rite of passage, Wharton captures beautifully the urges and failures of human nature.
