Love at Second Sight (1916) is a novel by Ada Leverson. Having
established herself as a journalist and short story writer,
Leverson published her debut novel in 1907 to moderate acclaim.
Entertaining and effortlessly witty, Leverson's prose paints a
stunning portrait of the Edwardian era, a time when hope and
relative peace proved prosperous for many. Often compared to her
close friend Oscar Wilde, Leverson, a pioneering Jewish woman,
remains a unique and refreshing voice in English literature. Love
at Second Sight is the third installment in her Little Ottleys
trilogy, a series of novels exploring the romantic lives of a
hilariously diverse group of friends. Edith and Bruce Ottley seem
to have it all-a charming flat, a healthy child, and a group of
entertaining friends. Although they are far from perfect-Bruce can
be jealous and quite the hypochondriac at times-their marriage
remains strong and their home remains a place of refuge to their
frequently lovelorn comrades. During the First World War, the
Ottleys play host to the mysterious Madame Frabelle, who exercises
a strange power over their home. When an old flame of Edith's
unexpectedly returns from the war with a serious injury, she finds
herself less and less willing to put up with Bruce's tiresome
eccentricities. Edith and Bruce do their best to make themselves
hospitable while defending their home against the hostilities of
love, but the hearts and minds of their eclectic guests prove
difficult to assuage. Love at Second Sight is a humorous tale of
romance and desire from Ada Leverson, an underappreciated novelist
of the Edwardian era. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Ada Leverson's
Love at Second Sight is a classic work of British literature
reimagined for modern readers.
