Vero's Short Classics Book Club - Cardiff

The Short Classics Book Club will be reading Washington Square by Henry James (250 pages). Come and get a (discounted!) drink while we talk about this wonderful classic.When timid and plain Catherine Sloper is courted by the dashing and determined Morris Townsend, her father, convinced that the young man is nothing more than a fortune-hunter, delivers an ultimatum: break off her engagement, or be stripped of her inheritance. 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.
