If you haven’t read The Scarlet Letter, read it now. If you read it long ago, read it again. Then savor this contemporary, feminist retelling of an American classic from a writer who gives us a stronger, more resilient 20th century Hester for whom living a meaningful life is paramount. An added bonus is getting to know her daughter, Pearl, whose life is a reflection on what our mothers can teach us, if we are ready to learn.

“Elayne Clift renders a stirring, contemporary retelling of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s classic, The Scarlet Letter. Clift captures the spirit of Hester and Pearl and recasts them in a dramatic, compelling and expansive story. She cuts across time and culture and excavates connections that bind the hearts of women, no matter the century.”
