Join us for today’s podcast episode as we dive into the world of "Hester" by Laurie Lico Albanese. We embark on a heartfelt exploration of the emotional aspects, character development, and powerful themes that make this book a must-read.
Drawing inspiration from Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter," Albanese expertly reimagines the story of Hester Prynne, capturing her struggles and triumphs with vividness and depth in the form of Isobel, a Scottish woman seeking to find herself in early 1800s Salem, MA. As we delve into Isobel’s transformative journey, we discuss her story of finding love and heartache, redemption, and personal identity.
In this episode, we also feature one of our favorite coffee companies in Oklahoma: Clarity Coffee. Clarity now has two locations in OKC, and all of their single origin coffees are roasted in house. When it comes to craft coffee, they’re definitely ahead of the game!
Tune in for a delightful blend of literature and coffee as we immerse ourselves in this beautiful story. ☕📖🎧
