Ethan Frome

From Goodreads

This short, little novel grew on me as it unfolded. I was a little underwhelmed at first with its pondering pace. While it never really sped up it did get deeper and more interesting as the psychological profiles unwound and were laid bare.

On a side note, I did not picture Liam Neeson as Ethan. In my head he looked much more like Ichabod Crane or the bicyclist from The Triplets of Belleville. Mattie looked nothing like Patricia Arquette in my head either. Even books I don't love tend to create better mental images than their cinematic counterparts.
