"Like the greatest historical fiction, Hester manages to make you believe utterly in its narrator, feel entirely that this story is real, and ground you in the day to day of a bustling 19th century world that promises the freedom of America while exacting its horrific steep price on the Native Americans it destroys, the slaves it brings in chains, and the women it crushes. It's a story about America itself, and the fury, righteousness and mercy in which it was formed." ––Gillian Flynn Join us in discussing this re-imagining of The Scarlet Letter.

Copies are available in a variety of formats: hardcover large print, CD, Playaway, and eBook and eAudio.  https://essexpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/community-book-club-hester-by-lico-albanese/
