The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter follows Hester Prynne, a woman forced to wear a scarlet "A" as punishment for adultery in Puritan New England. More than a tale of sin and shame, the novel explores themes of guilt, redemption, and the hypocrisy of moral authority. Hawthorne creates a powerful critique of rigid social codes while examining how individuals navigate public judgment and private conscience.
WHY WE PICKED IT: 
Because Hawthorne understood that the harshest judgments often come from those hiding their own sins. This is a book about standing tall when the world wants you to disappear, and it still hits hard.
