The Albert Wisner Public Library is happy to announce their first virtual Community Reads: Washington Square by Henry James. The Library invites everyone to read this classic American Novel and participate in a virtual discussion on Tues., June 9 at 6:30 p.m. presented online via Zoom video conferencing.
Washington Square, one of Henry James’s most intriguing books, is a story full of romance and emotion, but also deals with serious issues of loyalty, faith and pain. The story is set in the Washington Square section of Manhattan, circa 1850.
