Bookroo's summary
In 1840s New England, the Pyncheon family is trapped by a curse born of ancestral greed. Their home, shadowed by a dead man's vengeance, holds secrets that only love can unravel. As the family grapples with their haunted legacy, will they find redemption or remain prisoners of their past? Discover the hidden truths and moral dilemmas that challenge the Pyncheons in this gripping tale of crime, retribution, and the power of love to heal even the deepest wounds.
From the publisher
Nathaniel Hawthorne’s gripping psychological drama concerns the Pyncheon family, a dynasty founded on pious theft, who live for generations under a dead man’s curse until their house is finally exorcised by love.
