» 11 more Domestic Fiction (57) No current Talk conversations about this book. Very dense slow read for me. I thought the character development was genius. But the plot just didn't warrant the density. It could be summarized in 3-5 sentences. (  ) technodiabla | Dec 19, 2019 |  a rather tedious drama of manners, centred on the marriage plot. i found the doctor insufferable, catherine tedious; but the perceptiveness and Jamesian interiorities and flights of thought are worth admiring but god, it was a struggle. (  ) boredgames | Sep 26, 2019 | Worth it but not my main cup of tea. JoshSapan | May 29, 2019 | I liked this book, but I did not like any of the characters. It holds up well as a snapshot of another time, a different society. Prefer Jane Austim et al. ( ) Rdra1962 | Aug 1, 2018 | I love Henry James's books so much I named my cat after him and have read almost everything he ever wrote. Washington Square remains a favorite and I think this is the book I would give to anyone who believes that Henry James was nothing more than just a 'stodgy old man who went around the barn way too many times' to say what he had to say.
