Written at the same time as such terse masterpieces as The Spoils of Poynton and What Maisie Knew, it is like them a story of a struggle for possession and of its devastating consequences. Three women seek in very different ways to secure the affections of one man, while he, in turn, tries to humor and please them all. In the middle of this contest of wills stands his unwitting and very vulnerable young daughter. The savage conclusion of The Other House makes it one of the most disturbing and memorable of Henry Jamess depiction of the evil that lies under the polished veneer of civilized life. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=511241 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=511443 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=567926 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=29715 Alluring, high-spirited American heiress Isabel - I always want to know the things one shouldnt do ... so as to choose - is in Europe to seek her own destiny.
