I'll take a guess at 'The Scarlet Letter' by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
It is a very involving book.....and I loved the film. |

Penny, you are too good. Right again! The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I guess my clue wasn't as obscure as I thought it was.
Here's another one.
CLUE #1:
"Yes, I married the old duffer; after all, he does have a title. Now he's off to war and what's a young woman to do . . ."
NAME THAT BOOK. |

That was just telepathy.......we should set up a stage act.....Ralph.
OK next guess......Vanity Fair.....sounds like Beccy to me, what do you think Saffron? |

I had thought the same thing, Penny; "It's either telepathy or she's hacked into my computer."
Nope, it's not "Vanity Fair;" (that's a favorite of Ophelia but I have to admit, I've never read it).

I'm pretty sure I don't know this one Ralph.

Saffron - this one is yours!  |
