Washington Square

I read a book with a very old story. It started around 1960 and involved a successful doctor who lived with his wife on 5th Ave. After many years of marriage, his wife gave birth to their first child, who was a boy. The boy died when he was three years old. The doctor was upset because he wanted to raise the baby as himself. They had a second baby but it wasnt a boy, so the doctor wasnt very much happy. When the girl grew up, she was the oppositeof her father. She was shy and not beautiful.

The doctor had two sisters, one of whom got married with a reconized man, but the other sister didnt have the same luck. His sister moved with them, even got an apartment ti live in. They were invited to a party and daughters doctor fell in love with a guy who was in the party. This guy didnt have the same economic situation as them, so the doctor didnt want her daughter to spend time with him. She didnt care about her father, so they kept a relationshi. Her aunt wanted them to be together.

Her father was sick. One day he talked with his daughter and he said that if she continued her relationship, she wouldnt be able to be in the will. She went to see her boyfriend and she explained to him the situation. He wanted only her money, so thats why he didnt like the news. He told her that he was going to move to another country to work. She began to cry because de didnt want to bring her with him. He disappeared for seven years. During that time, she tried to forget her boyfriend.

She spent her time giving pianos classes in her house. Her father wasnt sure that she would finish with her boyfriend
