James pursued for many years a career as a playwright. The Other House was originally conceived as a play, but when it did not garner much interest he then wrote it out to be a novel. It is also unusual for him as the main conflict is centered around a murder.
""Three women seek to secure the affections of one man, while he, in turn, tries to satisfy them all."--Cover."
"This terse and startling novel is the story of a struggle for possession--and of its devastating consequences. Three women seek to secure the affections of one man, while he, in turn, tries to satisfy them all. But in the middle of this contest of wills stands his unwitting and vulnerable young daughter. The conclusion of The other house makes it one of the most disturbing and memorable of Henry James' depictions of the uncontrollable passions that lie beneath the polished veneer of civilized life."

"Le récit s'ouvre sur une atmosphère sociale et familiale à la fois feutrée et inquiétante. La cruauté et les passions vont se développer, conduire au meurtre pour libérer la plupart des protagonistes du carcan des conventions et révéler leur nature véritable. A l'origine destiné au théâtre, le texte laisse une place prépondérante au dialogue."
