Winner of the 1929 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, Scarlet Sister Mary is a haunting portrait of love, faith, and resilience in the post-Civil War South. Set among the Gullah people of South Carolina’s Lowcountry, the novel follows Mary, a proud and passionate young woman whose defiance of tradition sets her at odds with her community. When she chooses a path of independence—embracing love, motherhood, and desire on her own terms—Mary is both condemned and admired, a figure of scandal and strength. Through Mary’s story, Julia Peterkin captures the rhythms of rural Black life with lyricism and intensity, weaving themes of freedom, spirituality, and survival into a deeply human tale. Both celebrated and controversial, Scarlet Sister Mary endures as a striking work of Southern Gothic fiction that confronts the costs of independence in a world bound by judgment and tradition.
