What happens when an author takes a literary classic and adds sythensisia, a new romantic interest, and really big shirt sleeves? We are talking with Laurie Lico Alabanese about her newest novel, Hester, which is a novel that does all of those things and much, much more. Hester is a powerful reimagining of Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic tale — but the women get to tell their sides of the story this time around. You'll never look at the Scarlet A the same after reading this quintessential New England tale of power and desire. Get Hester at bookofthemonth.com.
