Thoughts
This is a very sober novella set in turn-of-the-century rural Massachusetts. Winter is somewhat of a novelty to me, living as I do in subtropical Australia, so I loved the descriptions of the bleak, oppressive winter in a sleepy town. Winter dominates the story like a character in its own right, and in mood I was reminded of Robert Frost's Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening (my favourite source of mental imagery for deep winter). From the beginning of the story, we know that the title character bears a tragic past, but when the story finally reaches its ironic end, it is truly heartbreaking.
