The House of the Seven Gables
Samenvatting
The House of the Seven Gables is a Gothic novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne set in New England, where the Pyncheon family is burdened by an ancient curse connected to their ancestral home. The land on which the house stands was built after being wrongfully seized during the Salem Witch Trials, and the family’s history continues to shape the present. Struggling through poverty and uncertainty, Hepzibah Pyncheon, her brother Clifford, and their young cousin Phoebe face long-held family secrets and the mystery surrounding the death of Judge Jaffrey Pyncheon. Through the interplay of past and present, the novel examines guilt, retribution, and the possibility of atonement.
