Henry James constructs a taut domestic drama that uncovers the brutal power struggles concealed beneath the polished surfaces of upper-class American society. Written with James's characteristic precision and ironic detachment, the novel presents a searing portrait of manipulation, self-deception, and the painful cost of misplaced trust. Widely regarded as one of James's most accessible and emotionally affecting works, it stands as an enduring indictment of a world where a woman's worth is measured solely by her inheritance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956423209179,"sku":"2026200008880-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/584ccc6f-d1bd-45a5-8617-9dc5ff0ee873.png?v=1783500852","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008880-secondhand-washington-square","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
