amerynth 's review for:
The House of the Seven Gables
by Nathaniel Hawthorne
I wasn't expecting to enjoy Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel "The House of the Seven Gables," but I really did. It was a good gothic story, with the house itself almost painted as a character, that moved along at a nice pace.
The story focuses on the owners of the seven-gabled homes, the Pyncheon family, which has a rather sordid history associated with the property. As a result, they suffer from a curse of sorts with the bulk of their inheritance -- a deed showing their ownership of a large tract of Maine woodland -- has been lost to time.
I enjoyed the twists and turns of the story and found this fairly compelling.
