Description

Set in the harsh Puritan community of seventeenth-century Boston, this tale of an adulterous entanglement that results in an illegitimate birth reveals Nathaniel Hawthorne's concerns with the tension between the public and the private selves. Publicly disgraced and ostracized, Hester Prynne draws on her inner strength and certainty of spirit to emerge as the first true heroine of American fiction. Arthur Dimmesdale, trapped by the rules of society, stands as a classic study of a self divided.

Added to a bookring.

Taken from the Colours Bookring. Not sure if it's my cup of tea but we shall see. I might be surprised.

This is an interesting story. I didn't think I would like it but I loved it. The characters are well described and little Pearl was adorable.

I'm sending this to Poodlesister for a LFL.

Thanks for the books!
