The Other House is a novel by Henry James, first published in 1896. Set in England with its plot revolving around a murder, the novel is seen as an oddity in the James canon of books. Henry James method of writing from a character's point of view allowed him to explore issues related to consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators brought a new depth to narrative fiction.
