Very good book about sin, stigma, and shame. It also explores concepts of religion, revenge, love. Worth a read.

I can see why it would’ve been a big deal at the time, and in general academically. I can’t say I found the writing very engaging, I’m not really sure if the ideas were just not that complicated or if I don’t like how Hawthorne writes.
