One book on the list:
Ethan Frome by Edith WhartonRead about the other books on the list.
Wharton's story is told by a nameless young man, who has been sent by his employers to the small town of Starkfield in wintry New England. He is intrigued by the mysterious Ethan, whom he hires as his driver. Thus we get access to the tale of Ethan's passion for Mattie, his wife's cousin. It all ends in a very nasty sledging accident.
Ethan Frome is one of Lynda Resnick's best books.
