The Ambient Century by Mark Prendergast
1652. Found guilty of adultery, Hester Prynne is punished by being forced to publicly wear the scarlet letter 'A' as a mark of her shame. Despite being imprisoned, Hester refuses to name her lover and father of her daughter. Her position is made even more desperate when a man calling himself Roger Chillingworth arrives in her cell. A story of guilt and revenge, Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel is rightly acclaimed as a literary classic, and its themes remain as challenging today as they were when the book was written.| SKU | Unavailable |
