The Invisible Hour
The Invisible Hour by Alice Hoffman
One June day when Mia Jacob can no longer see a way to survive, the power of words saves her.Ā The Scarlet LetterĀ was written almost two hundred years earlier, but it seems to tell the story of Miaās mother, Ivy, and their life inside the Communityāan oppressive cult in western Massachusetts where contact with the outside world is forbidden. But how could this be? How could Nathaniel Hawthorne have so perfectly captured the pain and loss that Mia carries inside her?
Through a journey of heartbreak, love, and time, Mia must abandon the rules she was raised with at the Community. As she does, she realizes that reading can transport you to other worlds or bring them to you, and that readers and writers affect one another in mysterious ways. She learns that time is more fluid than she can imagine, and that love is stronger than any chains that bind you.
