Nathaniel Hawthorne's most famous novel and his magnum opus, a classic of American literature, is a story of forbidden love that reveals the mores and lifestyle of Puritan society, the inhabitants of New England in the mid-17th century. The plot of "The Scarlet Letter" is rightfully considered one of the most dramatic and tense in literature.

A young Englishwoman, Esther, married an elderly doctor and moved with him to Boston. Soon after, her husband went on a journey and was not heard from for many years. Left alone, Esther could not resist her nascent feelings for the young priest... and gave birth to his child. For her love, she became an outcast, forced to wear the scarlet letter "A"—for adulteress—on her dress for the rest of her life.

A story about a woman who bears her "shame" with her head held high, and about her endless fortitude.
