In 'Memories of Hawthorne,' Rose Hawthorne Lathrop provides readers with a deeply personal and introspective look at the life and legacy of her famous father, Nathaniel Hawthorne. Through a series of poignant and nostalgic vignettes, Lathrop explores the complexities of family relationships, the power of memory, and the enduring influence of a literary giant. Her prose is elegant and evocative, capturing both the essence of her father's work and the emotions that shaped her own life. The book is a fitting tribute to a man whose literary genius continues to resonate with readers today. Rose Hawthorne Lathrop, herself a talented writer and social activist, brings a unique perspective to her exploration of her father's life. As the daughter of Nathaniel Hawthorne, she offers readers an intimate glimpse into the private world of a literary icon, shedding new light on his character and motivations. Her deep admiration for her father is evident throughout the book, making 'Memories of Hawthorne' a heartfelt and insightful read for fans of Nathaniel Hawthorne's work. I highly recommend 'Memories of Hawthorne' to anyone interested in delving deeper into the life of Nathaniel Hawthorne and the impact of his writing on future generations. Lathrop's intimate and reflective approach offers a captivating and enlightening experience for readers seeking to understand the man behind the timeless classics of American literature.

Rose Hawthorne Lathrop, also known as Mother Alphonsa, was an American writer and religious leader, born on May 20, 1851, to the illustrious novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne and his wife, Sophia Peabody Hawthorne. Raised in a milieu abundant with intellectual and artistic stimulus, Rose inherited a rich literary legacy that would later resonate in her own writings. Following her marriage to author George Parsons Lathrop and the tragic death of their only child, Rose's life took a profound spiritual turn. This transformation ultimately led her to profess vows as a Dominican nun, dedicating her life to the care of cancer patients, and she became the foundress of the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne. Her literary contributions, while less prolific than her father's, nonetheless provide a unique window into the Hawthorne family's private world. In 'Memories of Hawthorne' (1897), Rose offers a poignant portrayal of her father, blending personal insights with a daughter's devotion. Her writing, reflective of the 19th-century American literary style, incorporates a blend of natural description, emotional introspection, and moral questing characteristic of the period. Rose Hawthorne Lathrop's life and work encapsulate a distinctive fusion of literary heritage and compassionate action, leaving an endurable imprint on both American letters and humanitarian endeavors.
