Summary "Love's Shadow" by Ada Leverson is a novel written during the late 19th century, specifically in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the lives and relationships of its central characters, particularly focusing on the affairs of Edith Ottley and her friend Hyacinth Verney in a society marked by social intricacies and romantic entanglements. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Edith and her husband Bruce, who have just settled into a small flat in Knightsbridge. Their breakfast conversation reveals the couple's routine yet strained marriage, with Bruce preoccupied with work and Edith longing for more excitement in her life. After Bruce departs for the office, Edith's thoughts turn toward her friend Hyacinth, whose captivating presence and single status intrigue and concern Edith. We also get glimpses of Hyacinth's vibrant social circle, filled with admirers, and the complexities of her interactions with other characters, including her guardian, Sir Charles Cannon. This opening sets the stage for a rich exploration of love, friendship, and the societal expectations of the period. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
