Darkly brilliant
By Aletheuon
This is a truly marvellous novel! I had never read anything by Nathaniel Hawthorne before reading this book but I now understand why he is regarded as one of America's greatest novelists. It is a darkly Gothic and romantic book. What I love most about it is the beautiful descriptions of life in the mid nineteenth century and, above all, the wonderful psychological insight Hawthorne shows. This is a book which is built on interaction between complex and interesting characters who have the power to arouse one's sympathy. The novel is set in a gloomy New England mansion, built by a wealthy and cruel Puritan ancestor of the Pyncheon family and haunted, either supernaturally or psychologically, by guilt caused by the cruelties, fraudulent acquisitions and sudden death of the house's first owner. The house was built on ground seized from its legitimate owner, Matthew Maule, whom Colonel Pyncheon had executed for witchcraft during the Salem witch trials. Maule, according to family legend, cursed the Pyncheon family. The Colonel's portrait still hangs in the decaying house, an awful reminder of guilt and the curse, binding its residents to the past.The house is now owned by Hepzibah Pyncheon, who is a lady, one of the last of a dying breed of aristocrats in America. Dreadfully poor, she opens a shop in one room of her house, though she is completely unsuited to shop work. Her brother Clifford arrives home after serving thirty years for murder. A wealthy relative, Judge Jaffrey Pyncheon, offers help but is refused with loathing. Phoebe, a distant relative, comes to live with them and this pretty, cheerful and loving girl soon becomes indispensable to the two vulnerable old people. There is also a mysterious young lodger, Holgrave. The story moves on grippingly to its happy ending, though the real pleasure is in the glorious prose that describes the journey to that ending.The House of the Seven Gables was published in 1851. I did a bit of research into the author and found that there are real similarities between his family history and the story of Pyncheon family. The setting, apparently, was inspired by a gabled house in Salem belonging to an ancestor, Judge Hathorne, who had never repented of his part in the Salem Witch Trials. Nathaniel's name was also Hathorne, but he added the 'w' to distance himself from the guilty past of his own family. Fascinating!

Tediously Slow
By EAO
While I appreciate the beautiful use of language used by the author, I must say I found the actual storyline deadly dull and slow. This was mostly because of the extremely lengthy and detailed descriptions which covered pages at a time. I was over half way through before anything seemed to happen at all.It is a story of a house, the land on which it was built being taken unscrupulously from its original owner, Matthew Maule, who was tried and hanged for witchcraft. He cursed the perpetrator Colonel Pyncheon, who died shortly after building a new house on the exact site of the original one. Hepzibah Pyncheon, old, reclusive and weary, lives there now in the musty, damp old rooms. Her brother Clifford returns after years of prison, a broken man and a fresh young cousin Phoebe comes to stay. Another rich old cousin Judge Pyncheon wishes to speak to Clifford, but why?The beginning of the story promised much, but did not deliver in my opinion. Dreary and dull.
