Hester-Magpie club November 2023The book we are discussing is Hester, by Laurie Lico Albanese.

"A vivid reimagining of the woman who inspired Hester Prynne, the tragic heroine of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, and a journey into the enduring legacy of New England's witchcraft trials. Who is the real Hester Prynne? ... Meticulously researched yet evocatively imagined, Laurie Lico Albanese's Hester is a timeless tale of art, ambition, and desire that examines the roots of female creative power and the men who try to shut it down"-- (publisher)

 

 Copies of Hester are available at Solvang Library, and as an E-book download via Libby.

 

ALSO, since this is the group's December meeting, book club members are encouraged to bring a copy of a favorite holiday recipe to share with the group!
