    This was a mistake. I intended to say:"I wonder what the French think about it?"
    Thanks for spotting it.

    Nope--Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton is still the dullest novel I ever read.

    I saw the trailer of the film. The story seems to be very ironic.

    If someone wants to learn more about it:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethan_Frome

    "Mattie makes supper using Zeena's treasured pickle dish which she received as a wedding present. Unfortunately, the Frome's cat jumps on the table and knocks off the pickle dish, shattering it beyond repair."

    Sounds quite eventful.
