Underrated, 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.
