📚 We made it to Friday, Book Friends! HESTER by Laurie Lico Albanese is a deep emotional and mesmerizing tale of love and freedom. I love the idea of a book about the woman who could have inspired Nathaniel Hawthorne’s main character in the Scarlet Letter. The story of Isobel was beautiful, raw, and moving. I also love that the author explored the subject of synesthesia which was perceived as witchcraft in those times. The stories of Isobel’s ancestors were not as attractive as her own, but I appreciate that the author wanted to set Isobel’s alleged witchcraft ancestry. The writing is wonderful, and the descriptions of Isobel’s needlework are beautifully detailed. This is a superb read.#bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #HesterNovel #laurielicoalbanese #smpinfluencers #stmartinspress #bookreview
