The Scarlet Letter and Other Writings

Skip the first 20%. It's about the author's life as a worker in custom-house. It might be the best description of the daily life of a worker in a custom-house, still doesn't make for a good reading.

The story seems like it could be good, Esther is a young woman is sent to this puritan town in America by her husband, and wait for him there. She ends up pregnant, and the townspeople decide not to kill her, the usual penalty for that crime, but to brand her clothes with the A letter.

However, the story purposely focus too much on the description of the characters and their feelings, with numerous metaphors and useless descriptions. No content at all.

PLEASE see the mots likes reviewer here, she got it right!
