anne978 's review for:

Washington Square by Henry James

3.0

Although it is not one of the best stories I have ever read, it was nice enough. I found it very refreshing that a nineteenth-century novel (or novella in this case) can have a heroine who is not the epitome of beauty and grace. I love a good Victorian romance, but this story full of promise, disappointment, and above all money, is something different for a change.
