Marta, orphaned of her mother since birth, is raised by her nanny and her father, an extremely jealous man incestuously attracted to his daughter. Jerónimo, the protagonist's young suitor, is her great opportunity to break free. These four characters coexist with strong psychological and erotic drives, without ever falling into obscenity. Nélida Piñon delves deeply into Marta's personality, exploring her conflicts, tragedies, frustrations, and passions in a fictional game that draws the reader into the characters. Written in a dense and poetic language, "House of Passion" reveals a brilliant Nélida explaining desire and sexual initiation.
