Publisher's Summary:
In the mid 1800s, Pyncheon is still a revered namesake in Salem, with the gloomy Pyncheon mansion serving as a stark reminder of the family's upper class history. However, the house - unique for its seven gables - has a dark and deadly past. Its current occupant, the older and unmarried Hepzibah Pyncheon, is all but destitute and unwilling to accept any assistance from her wealthy but unrelenting cousin, Judge Jaffrey Pyncheon. To support her brother Clifford, who is about to leave prison after serving 30 years for murder, Hepzibah opens a shop in a side room. Phoebe, a distant cousin from the country, moves into the mansion to help run the shop. Soon a romance blossoms between Phoebe and Holgrave, an attic lodger who is writing the Pyncheon family history.

The House of Secrets
This was for me a unusual read, I enjoyed it but yet at the same time it was a up hill road of twists and turns. Some leading no where. Such a plot! Not too give way the ending but that was the very best part of the whole book. My heart was so wrenched with the family for the troubles they had to go through. The love that was felt by them as a family was the deepest that can be had. It made it all worth it. As a classic this is well worth the read.
Great--for fans of Hawthorne classics!
This is another good Hawthorne book. It builds the characters
descriptively so your mind's eye is there. It gives a peak
of how things were in that era. Written in his usual,
exquisite, expressive use of the English language.
Worth the read so far
Purchased for our daughters AP Lit course - it has great use of vocabulary and type is large enough to annotate side margins. Message if you have specific questions about story line as she has not completed reading as of yet...
Better the second time.
I read this when I was in my teens in junior high and am cycling back through the classics in my mid 60's this was better than I remember and the plot and pacing was amazing considering when it was written. Can't beat it if you have never read it.
Good book
Will make you realise how stale and limited language has become these days. Hawthorne had a vocabulary and used it. Its an old book but a good story.!
