capricorn_books 's review for:
Washington Square
by Henry James
This was my first book authored by Henry James and I was impressed.
He managed to turn a small family drama into a whole novel, although it is a short story, and give it a somewhat interesting plot.
I quite liked the stylistic choice of addressing the reader directly multiple times throughout the story. Still, I was sometimes confused by his very over-the-top and complicated sentences that seemed very Austen-like.
All in all, it is a nice short story that is very dramatic and sarcastic to read.
