The Scarlet Letter

Bag om The Scarlet Letter

It is the mid-seventeenth century in Boston. Hester Prynne, dignified and silent, is led through prison doors to her public shaming by members of the Puritan town. Holding her illegitimate child to her breast, and bearing a bright scarlet letter "A" embroidered on her bodice, Hester must now struggle to create a new life for herself and her child within this censorious community. When her missing spouse reappears, reveals himself to her, and takes up residence in town under an assumed identity, Hester, her daughter, her disguised husband, and her clandestine lover are forced to abide in close quarters--leading quiet, anguished lives. But the secrets eat away at their keepers, and only the most resolute, the most spiritual--rather than the merely religious--will survive the fall-out from the affair's exposure.
