Description
Washington Square is a masterful novel of New York society by Henry James. When timid and plain Catherine Sloper acquires a dashing and determined suitor, her father becomes convinced that the young man is nothing more than a fortune-hunter, leading to an agonising dilemma for Catherine.
Catherine must navigate the restrictions placed on her freedom and confront the public and private faces of 19th-century New York society. James's novel deftly interweaves these themes, creating a deeply moving study of innocence destroyed.
