Award-winning and Book of the Month club author Laurie Lico Albanese is inviting friends of the  Hawthorne House to a Zoom launch of  the paperback publication of HESTER following its successful first edition release one year ago, in October, 2022.

Through Zoom there will be a reading by the author enhanced by an arstistic visual presentation, and a question and answer session.  Please sign up, have some wine and cheese in the comfort of your own home, and savor ‘meeting’ this accomplished author and her perspective on Hawthorne’s early Americana.

About ‘Hester’: A vivid reimagining of the woman who inspired Hester Pyrnne, the bold and passionate heroine of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s ‘The Scarlet Letter.’“A standout historical… Even those unfamiliar with the classic will be hooked by this account of a capable woman standing up to the sexist and racial prejudices of her time.” – PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
