Overview

Un día de junio, cuando Mia Jacob ya no le ve sentido a la vida, el poder de las palabras la salva. La letra escarlata fue escrita casi doscientos años antes, pero parece contar la historia de Ivy, la madre de Mia, y su vida dentro de la Comunidad, una secta opresiva en el oeste de Massachusetts donde el contacto con el mundo exterior está prohibido. Pero ¿cómo es posible? ¿Cómo pudo Nathaniel Hawthorne haber capturado de una forma tan perfecta el dolor y la pérdida que Mia lleva en su interior? A través de un viaje de amor y desamor a lo largo del tiempo, Mia deberá abandonar las reglas con las que fue criada en la Comunidad. Al hacerlo, se da cuenta de que la lectura puede transportarnos a otros mundos o traerlos hacia nosotros, y que los lectores y los escritores se afectan mutuamente de maneras misteriosas. Aprende que el tiempo es más variable de lo que imagina, y que el amor es más fuerte que cualquiera de las cadenas que nos atan. Cuando era niña, Mia se enamoró de un libro. Ahora, como mujer, se enamora de un brillante escritor mientras retrocede en el tiempo. Pero ¿y si Nathaniel Hawthorne nunca hubiera escrito La letra escarlata? ¿Y si Mia Jacob nunca lo hubiera encontrado el día que planeaba morir?

One June day when Mia Jacob can no longer see a way to survive, the power of words saves her. The Scarlet Letter was written almost two hundred years earlier, but it seems to tell the story of Mia’s mother, Ivy, and their life inside the Community --an oppressive cult in western Massachusetts where contact with the outside world is forbidden. But how could this be? How could Nathaniel Hawthorne have so perfectly captured the pain and loss that Mia carries inside her? Through a journey of heartbreak, love, and time, Mia must abandon the rules she was raised with at the Community. As she does, she realizes that reading can transport you to other worlds or bring them to you, and that readers and writers affect one another in mysterious ways. She learns that time is more fluid than she can imagine, and that love is stronger than any chains that bind you. As a girl Mia fell in love with a book. Now as a young woman she falls in love with a brilliant writer as she makes her way back in time. But what if Nathaniel Hawthorne never wrote The Scarlet Letter? And what if Mia Jacob never found it on the day she planned to die?
