Ethan Frome is set in the fictional New England town of Starkfield, where a visiting engineer tells the story of his encounter with Ethan Frome, a man with a history of thwarted dreams and desires. The accumulated longing of Frome ends in an ironic turn of events. The engineer, staying temporarily in town while he works nearby, is the narrator who tells the story of Frome. His initial impressions are based on his observations of Frome going about his mundane tasks in Starkfield, and something about him catches the eye and curiosity of the visitor, but no one in the town seems interested in revealing many details about the man or his history - or perhaps they are not able to. The narrator ultimately finds himself in the position of staying overnight at Frome's house in order to escape a winter storm, and from there he observes Frome and his private circumstances, which he shares and which triggers other people in town to be more forthcoming with their own knowledge and impressions.

Just made my purchase & I note that there is a CLEAR INDEX in the front; it is very easy to navigate and looks just like the side illustration (the one next to the cover pic). For 99 cents, this is a true bargain; many stories here! I'm glad to have Ms. Wharton on my Kindle; it feels just like meeting an old friend again!

By JayDee I am familiar with Edith Wharton's works so it is good to see so many stories in one book. I haven't read them in so long and it will be like reading new books all over again.For the person who said there was no table of contents - there is but you have to look for it by the same method that so many collections has it listed. The book opens at the beginning. You can either use the BACK feature to go backward and you will see the TOC, as well as all the way back and you will see the cover. OR you can go to MENU and press GO then you will see where it says COVER. Highlight that and press enter and it will open at the cover. Then use page forward to see the table of contents. Most collections work this way, but I have downloaded a couple of books where the TOC does not allow you to choose the book you want; you have to read from the beginning to the end.If you are reading the book in the software for the PC (and I assume it is the same in the MAC):The book will open at the first story. Just scroll back up to see the table of contents as well as the cover. OR click on GO up top of the screen then click on COVER.
21 of 21 people found the following review helpful. Active TOC leads to BOOK titles, but NOT to s.s. titles By Librarian [This pertains to the H & H edition.] The TOC easily permits you to go directly to those titles which the editors have chosen to include in their TOC. While several of these happen to pertain to specific short stories, the majority of titles in the TOC are of BOOKS. However, there is no direct access to the SHORT STORIES contained within seven of those books which are compilations of such stories -- not even a listing of them so the reader can know what to search for. And there are LOTS of great stories "hidden" within them.As near as I can figure, there are 7 in "Crucial Instances," 9 in "Descent of Man," 5 in part-1 of her "Early Short Fiction," 6 in part-2 of her "Early Short Fiction," 8 in "The Greater Inclination," 7 in "The Hermit and the Wild Woman," and 10 in "Tales of Men and Ghosts," for a total of 52 short stories. But a number of these stories are duplicated (SOME reappearing -- as mentioned earlier -- as separate entities within the TOC), so the grand total is a bit lower. Some poems are also thrown into the mix, but these appear formatted as prose rather than arranged in stanzas and are uncomfortable to read. These are the reasons an otherwise five star collection gets only four. Nevertheless, at such a low price for so much great content, it's hard to complain too much.UPDATE 08-11-14: Despite my criticism above, I still greatly enjoy this particular collection and have not replaced it with any other (though Delphi has a set well worth considering).
