Publisher's Summary
Penguin Classics presents Henry James’ Washington Square, adapted for audio and available as a digital download as part of the Penguin English Library series. Read by William Hope.
“Why, you must take me or leave me... You can’t please your father and me both; you must choose between us”.
When timid and plain Catherine Sloper acquires a dashing and determined suitor, her father, convinced that the young man is nothing more than a fortune-hunter, decides to put a stop to their romance. Torn between her desire to win her father’s love and approval and her passion for the first man who has ever declared his love for her, Catherine faces an agonising dilemma, and becomes all too aware of the restrictions that others seek to place on her freedom. James’ masterly novel deftly interweaves the public and private faces of 19th-century New York society; it is also a deeply moving study of innocence destroyed.
