Personal Review/Comments

It is always rather relaxing to sit back and read a good classic that actually has some plot and story line. The House of Seven Gables is just such a read. About generational myth and curse, about redemption, about the lives, thoughts, and hurts of people and a happy ending. This is a book when you are in the mood for a slowing down of frantic pace and in the indulgence of time and fancies gone by.

Synopsis

Nathaniel Hawthorne's gripping psychological drama concerns the Pyncheon family, a dynasty founded on pious theft, who live for generations under a dead man's curse until their house is finally exorcised by love.
