The most underrated author of the 19th C ; Laugh HARD!
Ada Leverson is a gift to 19th century novel readers. One of Oscar Wilde's closest friends, and his only friend after he was imprisoned, Leverson (known as "The Sphinx") was considered a great wit within her circle; a sharp dry wit that comes forth strongly in this collection of Leverson's three best works. Leverson's characters are unforgettable and cause one to laugh aloud when recalling the memory of their predicaments.

At once a story of love, mismatched mates, and a mockery of manners and social mores of the almost-leisure class, Leverson's witty dialogue causes one to fall in love with Edith Ottley, much smarter than her dim witted, yet arrogant, husband. I simply can't rave enough!
