The Limit

On the surface, Valentia and Romer seem to have it all: a marriage of five years, a happy home, and a group of loyal friends. Beneath this veneer, however, Valentia spends much of her time with a handsome young artist while Romer struggles with feelings of doubt and jealousy. The Limit is a novel by Ada Leverson.

About the author

Ada Esther Leverson was a British novelist and writer born on October 10, 1862, in Beddington, United Kingdom. She was best known for her wit and keen observations of society, which she skillfully weaved into her novels. Leverson's works often explore the complexities of love, relationships, and the social dynamics of the time. Her novels, such as Love's Shadow (1908) and Tenterhooks (1912), focus on romantic entanglements, personal dilemmas, and the intricacies of societal expectations. Her writing is marked by a light, witty tone, yet often subtly critiques the conventions of the upper classes. She was married to Ernest Leverson and was the daughter of Samuel Henry Beddington. Ada Leverson's literary career, while successful in her time, is perhaps most remembered for her contribution to the genre of the British social novel. She passed away on August 30, 1933, in Florence, Italy, at the age of 70. Despite a more subdued recognition today, her work remains appreciated for its deft portrayal of social mores and relationships during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
