Hester

Hester (1883) is about the difficulty of understanding human nature, and a compulsive story of financial and sexual risk-taking that mounts towards a searing climax. It tells of the ageing but powerful Catherine Vernon, and her conflict with the young and determined Hester, whose growing attachment to Edward, Catherine's favourite, spells disaster for all concerned.

Hester (1883) este despre dificultatea de a intelege natura umana si despre o poveste compulsiva despre asumarea riscurilor financiare si sexuale, care se ridica spre un punct culminant. Povesteste despre batrana, dar puternica Catherine Vernon, si despre conflictul ei cu tanara si hotarata Hester, al carei atasament tot mai mare fata de Edward, favoritul lui Catherine, inseamna un dezastru pentru toti cei implicati.
