Within Jack London’s (1876—1916) novel “The Little Lady of the Big House”, what the protagonists dream of — serene life close to nature, farm work, and domestic happiness — stands as a reflection of the author’s own aspirations.

Yet a friend’s visit is about to shatter the peace and harmony of the Forrests’ life. The author puts on display the deep feelings stemming from noble hearts. The artfully described painful mental torments of the protagonists are keeping the reader in anxious anticipation of what the love triangle is about to bring.
