The House of the Seven Gables
ByPublisher Description
Nathaniel Hawthorne's The House of the Seven Gables is a gothic tale of inherited guilt, family secrets, and the haunting power of the past. Set in a decaying New England mansion, the story follows the Pyncheon family as they grapple with a centuries-old curse stemming from greed and betrayal. As past and present collide, romance, mystery, and redemption unfold in shadowy corners. With richly atmospheric writing and psychological depth, Hawthorne explores themes of justice, ancestral sin, and moral reckoning. A companion in tone and theme to The Scarlet Letter, this American classic blends supernatural elements with sharp social commentary, leaving a lasting impression on lovers of dark and thoughtful fiction.
