"Hester by Laurie Lico Albanese
I did not enjoy The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne back in the olden days when I had to read it in high school. This story takes Nathaniel Hawthorne (Nat) and places him in the world of Isobel Gamble, a seamstress" Read more of this review » |

"this book was really good to read especially about how the Scarlett letter came to be...probably not true but it's nice to think of it. It was really weird to read a love story between Isobel and Nathaniel Hawthorne who is my ancestor."

"Beautifully written prose, a literary imagining of the Nathanial Hawthorne and the woman who inspired The Scarlet Letter.
I love historical fiction generally and was really intrigued by the premise of a feminist retelling of a seminal historical read." Read more of this review » |

“They say witch, but what do they mean? Witch is a reason to kill you; witch might be someone to heal you; witch can be the Devil, or witch can be a woman so beautiful she makes you lose your sense. They've got so many ways of calling you a witch, they just change it to how it suits them.”
