Lever spent much of his life abroad, particularly in continental Europe, which influenced the settings and themes of his later works. His novels often reflect his Irish heritage and expatriate experiences, providing a unique perspective on the social and political issues of his time. Lever's works often drew on his experiences in Ireland and Europe, blending wit, humor, and a keen observation of social and political issues of his time. Some of his other notable works include "Charles O'Malley, the Irish Dragoon" (1841), "Tom Burke of Ours" (1844), and "The Daltons" (1852). His writing style is characterized by its energetic narrative and engaging, sometimes larger-than-life, characters. Lever spent much of his later life on the continent, particularly in Italy, where he continued to write and edit for various periodicals.
