Washington Square
Penguin 1st Edition, published 1963.
Henry James's classic tale of romance in urban nineteenth-century America.

Torn between her desire to win her father's love and approval and her passion for the only 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.
