The Limit

Beschreibung

The Limit by Ada Leverson is a novel set in early 20th-century British society, exploring the complexities of love, marriage, and social expectations. The story centers on Valentia, whose interactions with her husband, Romer, her cousin, Harry de Freyne, and Van Buren, reveal the intricate dynamics of their relationships. Through Valentia's thoughtful but somewhat naïve perspective, the novel examines themes of jealousy, the pursuit of happiness, and the pressures of societal norms. This decision sets the stage for a series of humorous misunderstandings and underlying tensions between the characters. The novel captures the subtleties of familial duty and the societal expectations placed on individuals, particularly in matters of love and romance. As the story unfolds, Leverson delves deeper into the emotional lives of her characters, exploring how personal desires often clash with the demands of society and family. The Limit offers a keen observation of the fragility of human relationships, marked by humor, jealousy, and the pursuit of happiness amidst societal constraints.

Autor

Ada Esther Leverson was a British novelist and writer born on October 10, 1862, in Beddington, United Kingdom. She was best known for her wit and keen observations of society, which she skillfully weaved into her novels. Leverson's works often explore the complexities of love, relationships, and the social dynamics of the time. Her novels, such as Love's Shadow (1908) and Tenterhooks (1912), focus on romantic entanglements, personal dilemmas, and the intricacies of societal expectations. Her writing is marked by a light, witty tone, yet often subtly critiques the conventions of the upper classes. She was married to Ernest Leverson and was the daughter of Samuel Henry Beddington. Ada Leverson's literary career, while successful in her time, is perhaps most remembered for her contribution to the genre of the British social novel. She passed away on August 30, 1933, in Florence, Italy, at the age of 70. Despite a more subdued recognition today, her work remains appreciated for its deft portrayal of social mores and relationships during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
