SUMMARY:November Living Large Bookclub: Hester by Laurie Lico Albanese
DESCRIPTION:We’re looking forward to chatting about Hester this month! Open to all and treats will be served. Grab Hester at our 10% off book club price! NOTE: See below for downloadable discussion guide! \nNamed a Most Anticipated Book for Fall by Goodreads – Washington Post – New York Post – Buzzfeed – PopSugar – Business Insider – An October Indie Next List Pick – An October LibraryReads Pick \nA hauntingly beautiful–and imagined–origin story to The Scarlet Letter. —People  \nWHO IS THE REAL HESTER PRYNNE? \nIsobel Gamble is a young seamstress carrying generations of secrets when she sets sail from Scotland in the early 1800s with her husband\, Edward. An apothecary who has fallen under the spell of opium\, his pile of debts have forced them to flee Glasgow for a fresh start in the New World. But only days after they’ve arrived in Salem\, Edward abruptly joins a departing ship as a medic–leaving Isobel penniless and alone in a strange country\, forced to make her way by any means possible. \nWhen she meets a young Nathaniel Hawthorne\, the two are instantly drawn to each other: he is a man haunted by his ancestors\, who sent innocent women to the gallows–while she is an unusually gifted needleworker\, troubled by her own strange talents. As the weeks pass and Edward’s safe return grows increasingly unlikely\, Nathaniel and Isobel grow closer and closer. Together\, they are a muse and a dark storyteller; the enchanter and the enchanted. But which is which? \nIn this sensuous and hypnotizing tale\, a young immigrant woman grapples with our country’s complicated past\, and learns that America’s ideas of freedom and liberty often fall short of their promise. Interwoven with Isobel and Nathaniel’s story is a vivid interrogation of who gets to be a real American in the first half of the 19th century\, a depiction of the early days of the Underground Railroad in New England\, and atmospheric interstitials that capture the long history of unusual women being accused of witchcraft. Meticulously researched yet evocatively imagined\, Laurie Lico Albanese’s Hester is a timeless tale of art\, ambition\, and desire that examines the roots of female creative power and the men who try to shut it down. \nCLICK ON THE IMAGE BELOW TO DOWNLOAD THE FREE DISCUSSION GUIDE
