The first time I saw the TV show “Gilmore Girls” I wished they were real people so I could go over to their house and jump on the couch while eating pop tarts and listening to Tom Waits. I felt the same way when I read “Ethan Frome” by Edith Wharton. I wanted to be the authors friend, and I think she would fit in well with Lorelai and the girls. My mom has read “House of Mirth” also by Edith Wharton, and the excerpt that I read was a completely different style of writing. I would say “Ethan Frome” was very plain and simple, all about life wrapped into 93 pages. The writing style was like Louisa May Alcott with an edge. This book so far is only second to “The curious incident of the dog in the night-time” by Mark Haddon as my favorite books on Rory’s book list.
