About this book

An old New England mansion, built on stolen ground and shadowed by an ancestral curse, broods over the impoverished Pyncheon family—the timid spinster Hepzibah, the sunny young Phoebe, and a sinister, ambitious judge—as the sins of the past reach into the present. Hawthorne weaves guilt, decay, and the possibility of renewal into a richly atmospheric Gothic romance. A meditation on inherited wrong and the weight of history, The House of the Seven Gables blends dark New England legend with hope for release from the past. Haunting and beautifully written, it is one of Hawthorne's finest works, a moody American classic about a family and a house under a shadow.
