it was amazing
bookshelves: audiobook, 2020-favorites, classics-19th-century-earlier

Henry James and I have an on again, off again love affair. Although Portrait of a Lady is one of my all time favorites, I found The Ambassadors irritating and Turn of the Screw a chore. I'm so happy that we are definitely back together with the riveting Washington Square! I was transfixed by James' multi-layered rendition of Catherine's relationship with her love interest, her aunt and her father in this gem of a novel.

I listened to the audiobook, perfectly read by Lloyd James.

Judith E Henry and I have never gotten along since freshman lit and Turn of the Screw, taught by a horrible little man. If I ever forgive, I’ll try this one.
