I haven't thought about Hawthorne for years - wasn't the story of the House of Seven Gables based somewhat on his own family history? That was always my favorite of his writing.

Those were some good replies.
I think "The house of seven Gables" was loosly based on his family.

I loved "The Handmaid's Tale", I think that was back in my Oprah's Book Club days. Another one I liked was "Stones From the River" which was basically about simple people in Germany not really being aware of the Nazi regimes atrocities. When some did figure out what was going on they supported it any way to maintain their own saftey and position. Sound familiar?
