oracle_of_madness 's review for:
Hester
by Laurie Lico Albanese
inspiring
Thank you Goodreads Giveaways for this incredible book that simply put, is going to be something I read over and over throughout my life. This book was a true gift and I think many other readers will agree.
This is the story about the woman that inspired The Scarlett Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. (Yes, fictional!).
Isobel could be any person, at least, I felt a deep and profound kinship with her. The time period is early 1800's and when she sets sail with her poppy possessed husband to the new world she's in for more than she ever considered.
This story is about what love is, the different kinds of love we as humans find ourselves falling into for better or worse. This story is about struggles, struggles in that time for anyone not of proper society. But more than anything, this is a tale of bravery and hope.
I cannot recommend this more!!
