Summary

What happens when love, passion, and honor collide?

In The Little Lady of the Big House, Jack London departs from his usual themes of adventure to craft a daring and introspective psychological romance. Centered around a complex love triangle between a wealthy rancher, his intelligent and independent wife, and a charismatic guest, the novel explores themes of desire, loyalty, inner conflict, and the cost of emotional freedom.

Scandalous in its time and deeply revealing, this novel shows a more intimate and vulnerable side of London's storytelling, delving into marital tension and emotional honesty with surprising depth.

    Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
