The Little Lady of the Big House is a novel written by Jack London and first published in 1916. It was London's last novel to be published during his lifetime.

In this work we find a Jack London very different from other works such as "White Fang" or "The Call of the Wild". This time, the plot revolves around a love triangle.

Dick Forrest lives with his wife Paula in a big house on a farm in California. They have a good, prosperous life. While he is pragmatic, she is more artistic.

But their idyllic life is shattered when Paula falls in love with a mutual friend, Evan Graham. Forrest can no longer hold Paula back, and she will have to make a series of decisions for which there is no turning back....

London presents us with a great story with a different style that reflects the American Gilded Age of the early twentieth century.

"He awoke in the dark. His awakening was simple, easy, without movement save for the eyes that opened and made him aware of darkness. Unlike most, who must feel and grope and listen to, and contact with, the world about them, he knew himself on the moment of awakening, instantly identifying himself in time and place and personality"
