In three beautifully-crafted, dramatic acts, James's little-known novel 'The Other House' unravels the painfully complicated emotional ties which exist within a group of friends and lovers connected by two neighbouring homes.
Mrs Beaver - lady of Eastmead and fondly nicknamed "the queen-mother" - presides over the affairs in question, keenly steering them in the direction of the successful marriage of her son Paul. But the delightfully attractive Tony Bream, master of Bounds, draws beautiful women to him like moths to a flame. Passionate Rose Armiger and sweet Jean Martle allow their deep-rooted but secretive love for him to dictate their lives. But when the battle for reciprocation commences in earnest, it must be fought publicly and to the bitter end.
The only paperback edition available, with introduction, bibliography, text summary and chronology of James's life and times.
