Hester

by Laurie Lico Albanese

This story takes place first in Scotland, then in Salem, Massachusetts. It covers the witch trials in the 1660s and the after-effects that still lingered in the 1820s. A story that sheds light on the real inspiration behind Hester Prynne of THE SCARLET LETTER. Hester by Laurie Lico Albanese #historical fiction, #reading, #books to read, #books
