I read this book for school, amd, for being written along time ago, was very good. I love Nathaniel Hawthorne as a writer, he is so funny! Here is the reveiw: Hepzibah has recently opened a cent shop in her house because she does not have the money to care for herself. Pheobe Pyncheon comes to visit and helps her cousin Hepzibah run the shop. Hepzibah, Pheobe and others go on wild adventures, with themes such as love, sacrifice, and mystery. Overall, I would defiantly recommend this to both teachers and students. I think it was high school reading level, but for sure worth the struggle to read. (I love little Med Higgins btw)
House of the Seven Gables
By Nathaniel Hawthorne
In a sleepy little New England village stands a dark, weather-beaten, many-gabled house. This brooding mansion is haunted by a centuries-old curse that casts the shadow of ancestral sin upon the last four members of the distinctive Pyncheon family of Salem. The greed and haughty pride of the Pyncheon family through the generations is mirrored in the gloomy decay of their seven-gabled mansion, where the family's enfeebled and impoverished relations now live. Mysterious deaths threaten the living. Musty documents nestle behind hidden panels carrying the secret of the family's salvation--or its downfall.
