A farmer trapped in a loveless marriage falls for his wife's young cousin, and when she is sent away he steers their sled into a tree meaning to die with her, but they survive instead, crippled, tied for life to the wife he never loved.

Guess he's been in Starkfield too many winters. Most of the smart ones get away.
Ethan Frome, Edith Wharton
