House of the Seven Gables
With all due respect for Mr. Hawthorne, I found his circumnavigation of whatever point he was making very tedious. In the end, I felt the outcome was unbelievable, and the characters only partially sympathetic. I wonder how this story could be made relevant to a modern generation? Here's a story that could be easily missed.
