Hawthorne at his best! The atmosphere is haunting, and the characters are complex. I was completely absorbed from beginning to end. Highly recommend!

I am not a fan of this style of writing. Too much description of art, not enough action. I realize this book has a following, but it wasn’t for me.
Tushar Singh Gujar –
While the writing is undeniably beautiful, I found the story itself to be somewhat dull. I appreciated the exploration of art, though.
Manjeet Dahiya –
Beautifully written! The characters drew me in, and the story kept me engaged from start to finish. The ending was a bit ambiguous, but I enjoyed it.
Jaideep Mehra –
A good book that explores dark themes with love, murder and art. There were moments where I got lost in the description of Rome. Overall I really enjoyed.
Himanshu Singh Yadav –
I loved the Roman setting and the exploration of art and morality. However, the ending felt a bit rushed and unsatisfying. Still, a thought-provoking book worth reading.
Sahil Patel –
Hawthorne’s prose is beautiful, but I found the plot meandering at times. The characters were interesting, but I wasn’t fully invested in their fates. Overall, a decent read, but not my favorite.
Shreshtha Roy –
This book really made me think! The questions it raises about sin and redemption are fascinating. It could be slow at times, but ultimately rewarding.
Ritesh Raj –
The descriptions of Rome were captivating. I did struggle with some of the symbolism and found it a bit heavy-handed at times. A solid read for fans of Hawthorne.

A classic for a reason! The themes are still relevant today, and the writing is exquisite. Some parts felt a little slow, but the overall impact was powerful.
