In Mirror Imagery in The Scarlet Letter‚ Michael Lasser argues that Hawthorne uses mirror imagery to reveal a characters innermost secrets and ulterior motives. The child Pearl is described

The Shadow Lines by Amitav Ghosh Such moments are rare indeed these days when one takes a book in the hand and is completely captivated by it after reading the first few pages.
