| Summary | "The Yellow House: Master of Men" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel written in the early 20th century. It centers around the lives of the Ffolliot family, particularly the daughter, Kate, as they settle into a new village while navigating the complexities of local society. The story introduces two enigmatic neighbors, Bruce Deville and a mysterious woman living in the Yellow House, whose pasts seem to contain scandal and intrigue that captivates the local community. At the start of the novel, the Ffolliots are greeted warmly by the local elite, with the exception of their neighbors Bruce Deville and the woman in the Yellow House, leading to much speculation and gossip. As Kate engages in conversations with Lady Naselton, she learns about the dubious reputation of their neighbors, which piques her curiosity even more. Notably, a cloud of mystery hangs over her father, who has taken a trip to London for undisclosed reasons after receiving a letter that intensifies the family's unease about their new life. The opening chapters set a tone of suspense and introduce potential conflict, particularly as Kate begins to feel an inexplicable interest in the elusive Bruce Deville.
