Ada Leverson’s novel ‘Tenterhooks’ explores the lives and relationships of a group of witty and affluent individuals in late Victorian London. The book is characterized by its sharp dialogue, humor, and insightful commentary on social norms and gender roles of the time. Leverson’s writing style is reminiscent of her close friend Oscar Wilde, with whom she shared a similar wit and satirical edge. In the literary context of the novel, Leverson’s portrayal of the high society of London serves as a mirror to the hypocrisy and superficiality of the time. The characters’ struggles with love, marriage, and societal expectations make ‘Tenterhooks’ a captivating read that delves deep into the human experience. Ada Leverson, a lesser-known contemporary of Oscar Wilde, wrote ‘Tenterhooks’ drawing from her own experiences in London society and her keen observations of human behavior. Her unique perspective on the aristocracy and their social interactions adds a layer of authenticity to the novel, making it a valuable piece of late Victorian literature. I highly recommend ‘Tenterhooks’ to readers who are interested in witty social commentary, humorous dialogue, and engaging storytelling.
