About this ebook

A young heiress faces a difficult choice between filial loyalty, her inheritance, and a man she should not trust but cannot help but love, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Classics Line.

One of Henry James's most enduring works, Washington Square examines class dynamics in 19th-century New York through a quietly devastating drama of love, manipulation, and a young woman's coming-of-age.

When Catherine Sloper, a sheltered young heiress of a wealthy New York physician, gets engaged to a charming young man who her father believes is only after her fortune, she gets caught between the wishes of her father, her inheritance, and the intoxicating promises of the man she loves.

​A masterclass in psychological tension and a timeless exploration of love, power, pride, and betrayal, Washington Square remains one of James's most poignant and accessible works of fiction.
