Loves Shadow, a novel by Ada Leverson, was published in 1908. Leverson, a journalist and short story writer, gained recognition with her debut novel in 1907, which received moderate acclaim. Her writing is entertaining and witty, capturing the essence of the Edwardian era, a time of hope and relative peace. Often compared to her close friend Oscar Wilde, Leverson, a pioneering Jewish woman, remains a unique and refreshing voice in English literature.

Loves Shadow is the first installment in Leverson's Little Ottleys trilogy, a series of novels that explore the romantic lives of a diverse group of friends. The Ottleys, Edith and Bruce, appear to have a perfect life with a charming flat, a healthy child, and a close-knit group of friends. However, they are far from perfect, with Bruce displaying jealousy and occasional hypochondria. Despite these quirks, their marriage remains strong, and their home becomes a sanctuary for their lovelorn comrades. Among the eclectic group of guests are Hyacinth Verney, Mrs. Eugenia Raymond, Cecil Reeve, and Lord Selsey. Hyacinth loves Cecil, who is favored by his uncle Lord Selsey, but Cecil seems inexplicably drawn to Eugenia, a widow who has no interest in remarrying. Edith and Bruce strive to be hospitable while defending their home against the complexities of love, but their guests' hearts and minds prove difficult to sway.

Loves Shadow is a humorous tale of romance and desire from Ada Leverson, an underappreciated novelist of the Edwardian era. This edition of Loves Shadow, with its beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, presents a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.
