Sophie and Nathaniel Hawthorne fell in love at first sight and stayed in love forever afterwards. This novel takes place in the mid-1800s, before the Civil War in the U.S.A. Yet the story does not seem old-fashioned. Nathaniel Hawthorne, of course, is the famous author of House of Seven Gables and The Scarlet Letter. This is not a biography but rather a lively reimagining of Nathaniel and Sophie's lives. Other American literary figures also appear in the book, including Emerson and Herman Melville. This is a good book for summer reading. The English is not difficult.
