By Simple Jack on April 18, 2015Format: Paperback Verified PurchaseUnderrated, Jack London's "Little Lady of the Big House" is yet another departure for Mr. London. Packed with psychological and sexual tension (deliberately understated to avoid the rampant censorship prevalent during his time), the book also delves into the emerging personal technologies of the day, with vivid descriptions of labor-saving contrivances. It features detailed portrayals of self-sustaining agricultural methods and cutting-edge industrial advancements, revealing Mr. London's foresight and personal contributions to the "green" living we so value today. Full of betrayals, deceit, and tragedies, it's an interesting picture of the advent of the new sciences of psychology, psychiatry, and symbolism coupled with the lifestyle of London's time.

This novel features a love triangle between a rancher, Dick Forrest, his wife, Paula, and her lover, Evan Graham. All characters can be traced back to London and his friends and family. London called the novel "all sex from start to finish--in which no sexual adventure is actually achieved or comes within a million miles of being achieved, and in which, nevertheless, is all the guts of sex

Near at hand there was the ripple and gurgle of some sleepy fountain. From far off, so faint and far that only a keen ear could catch, he heard a sound that made him smile with pleasure. He knew it for the distant, throaty bawl of King Polo -- King Polo, his champion Short Horn bull, thrice Grand Champion also of all bulls at Sacramento at the California State Fairs. The smile was slow in easing from Dick Forrest's face, for he dwelt a moment on the new triumphs he had destined that year for King Polo on the Eastern livestock circuits. He would show them that a bull, California born and finished, could compete with the cream of bulls corn-fed in Iowa or imported overseas from the immemorial home of Short Horns.
