Love's Shadow

Published in 1912, 'Love's Shadow' is the first book in Ada Leverson's trilogy 'The Little Ottleys.' Set in Edwardian London, this social comedy follows Bruce and Edith Ottley as they navigate the complexities of their seemingly carefree lives. Bruce's self-obsession and hypochondria create tension in their marriage, while their friends grapple with their own romantic entanglements. Leverson's sharp dialogue and keen characterization reflect her friendship with Oscar Wilde and her influence in the literary scene of the time.
