The Scarlet Letter

By: Nathaniel Hawthorne

Narrated by: Emma Gibson

The Scarlet Letter – published first in 1850, was in its time considered as an innovative and at the same time scandalous novel, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. This book was strongly disapproved by the fellow countrymen of the author and banned by the Russian tsars.

The Scarlet Letter tells the story of Hester Prynne, who conceives a daughter through an affair and struggles to create a new life of repentance and dignity.

For the Puritan Boston in the 17th century New England, this is a terrible violation of morality. Hester is therefore paraded through the town, holding her baby and wearing the red letter "A" that marks an adulteress. But she continues to fight for what and whom she loves.

The Scarlet Letter is the first novel of Nathaniel Hawthorne and the first work, in which the Old World has opened towards a new American literature. The novel was made into a film seven times in the United States, as well as in Spain, France and South Korea.

The accent was good!! And she had good voices as well as acting and stressing words.

It needs to be better edited. You hear the woman reading restate sentences and curse when she mispronounces words.

Confused

I have wanted to read this since HS and I joined a bookclub this month who was reading it. I was so excited but like, what did I just read? No, seriously. I really don't know.
