The Other House (Drugoy Dom)

England, late 19th century. The estates of Eastmead and Bounds are separated by a river. Both houses keep a close eye on the goings-on of their neighbors. Life goes on as usual until one day a pretty distant relative arrives at Eastmead, and an old friend of the owner arrives at Bounds. Their hopes will converge on one man and one child. This story about the destructive consequences of human passions from the author of 'The Turn of the Screw' continues the joint translation series by Bookmate and Subscription Editions. The book was translated as part of a joint workshop between Bookmate and the Peredelkino Creative Center.
