Kalank

Kalank is the Hindi translation of The Scarlet Letter, the classic novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It is set in the Puritan Massachusetts Bay colony in the 1640s, a community ruled by strict religious and moral codes.

At its centre is Hester Prynne, a woman publicly shamed and made to wear a mark of her sin while she raises her daughter, Pearl. Her story is a moving and painful one about guilt, judgment and endurance.

The Hindi edition brings this American classic to readers of the language.
