The House of the Seven Gables @ Your Library! Join the Central-Clemson Book Club on Wednesday, December 7 at 7pm at the Central-Clemson Regional Branch Library to discuss The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The house of the title is a gloomy New England mansion built in the late 17th century. The house is thought to be haunted from its foundation by fraudulent dealings, accusations of witchcraft, and sudden, mysterious deaths. Hepzibah Pyncheon, the current resident, opens up a shop in a side room of the house in order to support her brother who has recently been released from prison. Past secrets are dug up and strange occurrences abound as Hepzibah and her brother struggle to free themselves from their haunted past. "A large and generous production, pervaded with that vague hum, that indefinable echo, of the whole multitudinous life of man, which is the real sign of a great work of fiction." --Henry James The Central-Clemson Book Club meets regularly on the first Wednesday of each month at 7pm. New members are always welcome. Call or stop by one of our locations to reserve a copy of The House of the Seven Gables or visit www.pickens.lib.sc.us to place a hold.
