Description
At the end of Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic novel, The Scarlet Letter, we know that Pearl, the elf-child daughter of Hester Prynne, is somewhere in Europe, comfortable, well set, a mother herself now. But it could not have been easy for her to arrive at such a place, when she begins life as the bastard child of a woman publicly humiliated, again and again, in an unrelentingly judgmental Puritan world.
With a brilliant and authentic sense of that time and place, Deborah Noyes envisions the path Pearl takes to make herself whole and to carve her place in the New World. Beautifully written with boundless compassion, Angel and Apostle is a heart-rending and imaginative debut in which Noyes masterfully makes Hawthorne's character her own.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Susan Vreeland praises the novel as a "captivating achievement" that masterfully re-imagines Hawthorne's world with vivid scenes and authentic language, offering an alternative, richly embroidered narrative beyond the original's conclusion. Reviews highlight Noyes's success in creating a compelling continuation that combines historical authenticity with imaginative storytelling to delight and engage readers familiar with the classic.
