Wharton is one of the authors whom I admire the most.

I love the stories she tells, and the way she tells them. And I think I love her as a person too. There is recently a new book on her published, Age of Desire by Jennie Fields (http://www.npr.org/2012/08/10/158237287/age-of-desire-how-wharton-lost-her-innocence). Ethan Frome has been in my "to read" list for a long time and now I might cut the line and finish reading it first.

Thank you for the beautiful writing and the insight you brought in it. You raised the bar just too high for English learners like me to even think about it.
