Hester by Marilia Albanese
In 1820s Salem, a gifted Scottish seamstress with synesthesia is abandoned by her opium-addicted husband and must stitch her way to independence, forging a magnetic and fraught connection with an aspiring writer whose ambitions mirror and imperil her own. As she navigates gossip, rigid moral codes, and the lingering shadow of the witch trials, her art becomes both refuge and rebellion, revealing the costs of desire, the constraints on women’s lives, and the inspirations that ripple into a notorious literary heroine.
