Finally finished. While the chapters were short, the book as a whole was a slow crawl. Hawthorne's excessive use of details created lengthy paragraphs that was easy to get lost in the story, and not in a good way. And I've never been more ready to finish the book, and never read the word "ignominy" again.
Puritanicalism is not for the faint of heart. If you can't be perfect, you won't make it in their world.
I loved Pearl's wild heart and imagination. It was a bright spot to the book.
Long love Hester Prynne's legacy.
