Summary

The book chronicles the history of the 7th battalion of Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders. Highlanders is a Scottish regiment, which meant that at some time in its history, it has or had a name that referred to Scotland or some part thereof, and adopted items of Scottish dress. As such, they're not necessarily made up of Scottish people. Traditionally, Scottish regiments cultivate a reputation of exceptional fierceness in combat and are often given romantic portrayals in popular media.

    'Ethan Frome' is a 1911 book by Edith Wharton, set in the fictitious town of Starkfield, Massachusetts. In this haunting tale, Wharton’s characters are not of the upper class, but ordinary townsfolk. The prologue opens with an unnamed male narrator who’s spending a winter in Starkfield while on business, describing a limping man with a compelling demeanor. The narrative is characterized by frequent flashbacks, and mainly involves Ethan’s sickly wife, Zeena, and Mattie, a cousin who helps to care for her. When Ethan and Mattie fall in love, Zeena insists that Mattie be sent away. In the final chapter, the prologue’s narrator returns, revealing a shocking role reversal that had occurred twenty years before.

Perhaps people do not know how easy it is.
