The story unfolds in the small, bleak town of Starkfield, Massachusetts, focusing on the life of Ethan Frome, a man burdened by physical ailments and devastating life circumstances. The narrative explores themes of isolation, regret, and the impact of harsh winter elements on both the landscape and the characters’ lives. At the start of the novel, the narrator describes the town of Starkfield and introduces Ethan Frome, whose tragic demeanor and physical disability set him apart from the townsfolk. The narrative weaves in conversations with other residents, revealing Ethan's backstory, including the burden of caring for his ailing wife, Zenobia, and the presence of Mattie Silver, a relative who has come to live with them. The icy snow-laden environment mirrors the heaviness of Ethan’s circumstances and foreshadows an aura of despair, hinting at deeper emotional struggles that will unfold as the story progresses.
