Query: A good rural tale

This is a good book. Not a great one, a good one. It portrays a winter landscape and a small town. Unfortunately, the characters of the small town are flat. The main character is a ponderous middle-aged man who has had an unlucky life. I enjoyed the book, which I read in about 3 hrs. The ending isn't 'enough,' somehow, and I was left feeling like something more had needed to be said. I do intend to read more of Wharton, if only to say that I have.
