The Scarlet Letter was a re-read for members of our bookclub - as our Classic for April. While only twelve members read and attended this month, it was a unanimous 5 stars for this classic novel that will forever be recognized as GREAT.Besides Nathaniel Hawthorne's envious symbolism ability, this is a work filled with all imaginable scandal cleverly written in old English. When we debated what tagline to use, the above barely beat "Heartbreaking and so lovely you will never forget it!"If you haven't read it, please do. The language is rough to comprehend in the beginning, but soon it wraps around you and you feel rewarded to the bone for having completed this masterpiece.
