Faith in Fiction will meet on Monday, November 21st at 7pm to discuss The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Location - 803 Cattleya Ct. Louisville, KY 40207

We’re recommending the edition that features an introduction by Karen Swallow Prior (linked above, not pictured above). Also, the leader of this book discussion, Jonathon, suggests skipping the “The Custom-House-Introductory” chapter because it could bog you down and you don’t really need to read it for the book discussion.

“In The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne takes readers back to the puritan days of the American colonies, into a society as unforgiving as its harsh New England winters. The story of Hester Prynne, who bears a scarlet “A” upon her breast as a symbol of her adultery, and that of her pious lover who atones in tormented silence, is one that has captivated readers since its publication in 1850.” — Canterbury Classics, publisher
