Full Description

This is a troubling story of crime, sin, guilt, punishment and expiation, set in the rigid moral climate of 17th-century New England. The young mother of an illegitimate child confronts her Puritan judges. The cruelties of slowly exposed guilt, as her lover is revealed, hold the reader enthralled all the way to the book's poignant climax.
