73561 LOVE’S SHADOW by Ada Leverson Oscar Wilde called this author the ‘wittiest woman in the world’, and this is her first novel. It is the story of Edith and Bruce Ottley who live in a very new, very small, very white flat in Knightsbridge. Excitement comes in the form of the dazzling and glamorous Hyacinth Verney, who doesn’t understand why Edith is married to one of the greatest bores in society. Why does the dashing Cecil Reeve insist on being so elusive, why is her loyal friend Anne so stubbornly content with being a spinster, and why can’t she just seem to take her mind off love. First published in 1908. 225 page paperback reprint.
