In Puritan Boston, Hester Prynne is condemned to wear a scarlet A for the child she bore outside her marriage, and she will not name the father. She raises little Pearl at the edge of the settlement, while the revered minister Arthur Dimmesdale wastes away under a secret, and her long-absent husband returns under another name, bent on finding the truth.
Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1850 novel is a haunting story of sin, secrecy, and quiet courage. This recording is the complete book.
