The Little Lady of the Big House (1916)

The Little Lady of the Big House (1915) is a novel by American writer Jack London. It was his last novel to be published during his lifetime. PlotThe story concerns a love triangle. The protagonist, Dick Forrest, is a rancher with a poetic streak (his "acorn song" recalls London's play, "The Acorn Planters"). His wife, Paula, is a vivacious, athletic, and sexually self-aware woman, who falls in love with Evan Graham, an old friend of her husband. Unable to choose between the two men, she wounds herself mortally with a rifle in what her husband is certain is a suicide. InspirationBiographer Clarice Stasz writes that the book is "not autobiography," but speaks of London's "frank borrowing from his life with Charmian," his second wife, and says it is "psychologically valid as a mirror of events during [the] winter [of 1912
