  "She was the mistress of a kingdom, yet a prisoner of her own soul."
  
  Dick Forrest is a man of absolute efficiency, a millionaire rancher who has turned his sprawling California estate into a marvel of scientific agriculture. Beside him is his wife, Paula Forrest—the "Little Lady"—a woman of immense talent, beauty, and spirited independence. Their life is an ordered paradise until the arrival of Dick's old friend, Evan Graham. As Graham and Paula fall into an irresistible, soul-stirring attraction, the "Big House" becomes the stage for a devastating emotional conflict. London crafts a story that asks: can a life built on logic and mastery ever truly satisfy the wild, unpredictable demands of love?
  
  A Masterclass in Character: Moving away from the "primitive man," London provides a nuanced look at the modern elite. Paula Forrest is one of London's most complex female protagonists—a "boy-woman" who excels at riding and music but finds herself torn between the stable, brotherly devotion of her husband and the romantic fire of a new suitor.
  
  The Beauty of the Land: Set in the lush landscapes of California's Sonoma County, the novel is a love letter to the earth. London's vivid descriptions of breeding prize livestock and taming the wilderness serve as a backdrop to the characters' internal struggles, suggesting that even the most "civilized" surroundings cannot suppress the primal instincts of the heart.

  BOOK 6: LE PETIT-PICPUS: Nothing, half a century ago, more resembled every other carriage gate than the carriage gate of Number 62 Rue Petit-Picpus. This entrance, which usually stood ajar in the most inviting fashion, permitted a view of two things, neither of which have anything very funereal about them, a courtyard surrounded by walls hung with vines, and the face of a lounging porter.
