tootstorm: Contains a lot of parallels between the two heroines. Acker's '77 novel also contains a scathing deconstruction of Hawthorne's the Scarlet Letter somewhere down the line. If you haven't heard of her, take note. She's worth the attention.

It bore a device, a herald's wording of which might serve for a motto and brief description o our now concluded legend; so sombre is it, and relieved only by one ever-glowing point of light gloomier than the shadow:—
[Introduction to Barnes & Noble Classics] To interpret her as exclusively one or the other is to read this open fiction as closed and rob it of half its richness.
[Introductory to "The Scarlet Letter"] It may be, however, — O, transporting and triumphant thought! — that the great-grandchildren of the present race may sometimes think kindly of the scribbler of bygone days, when the antiquary of days to come, among the sites memorable in the town's history, shall point out the locality of The Town-Pump!
