Ah, got it. The American equivalent is The Scarlet Letter, a fine book that absolutely should not be inflicted upon sixteen-year-olds under any circumstances, because they'll either hate it or, God help me, end up with a crush on Roger Chillingworth. (Actually, I think I hated it AND had a crush on Chillingworth, although I have no memory of how I managed to do both of these things at once.)
