In a shabby New York City neighborhood, Bunner sisters Ann Eliza and Evelina run a shop selling artificial flowers and bric-a-brac. As a birthday gift, Ann Eliza gives Evelina a clock and it leads to a strange relationship with Herbert Ramy, owner of "the queerest little store you ever laid eyes on." Jealousy, rivalry and trouble soon follow.

Ethan Frome

Ethan Frome is set in a fictional New England town and involves an engineer who recounts his meeting with Ethan, a man with a history of thwarted dreams. The book was turned into a Hollywood film.
