La Lettera Scarlatta by Nathaniel Hawthorne
A Romance
In a strict Puritan community, a woman condemned for adultery is forced to wear a scarlet letter on her chest and raise her illegitimate daughter amid public scorn; the narrative follows her quiet strength and resilience, the secret father—a tormented minister whose concealed guilt eats away at him—and a vengeful physician who manipulates the others, exploring the destructive effects of hypocrisy, shame, identity, and the complex possibility of redemption.
