so-soI haven‘t read The Scarlet Letter, so I‘m not sure if that had an impact on my reading of Hester. I just never really connected with the main characters. I didn‘t always understand their motivations. I enjoyed the characters of Mercy and Zeke and the embroidery information, but overall this wasn‘t really for me.

Enjoying this classic even more than I expected! Lucy‘s story is full of twists and I like her so much. Thanks, @Librarybelle for putting this back on my radar with #LiteraryCrew

Discussion questions will be posted on Feb 28, but it‘s perfectly fine to participate whenever you wish.

Chapter a day reading seems to be working for me right now. I‘ve broken down the tagged book into one or two daily chapters to see if I‘m more successful with my second attempt of reading Vilette. Thought I‘d share my plan in case others want to try that approach.
@Librarybelle
It‘s time for our discussion, #LiteraryCrew ! There are 9 questions posted as spoilers that can be found on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtag. Mixed reviews on this one, so I‘m interested to see your thoughts!

It is true that Nathaniel Hawthorne is related to John Hathorne, one of the Salem Witch Trial judges and the one who refused to believe the whole episode was a hoax. Hawthorne was so ashamed by his ancestry that he added a “w“ to his last name (short bio on Hawthorne linked in the comments).
