Tenterhooks is a collection of short stories written by Ada Leverson. The book contains a total of 18 stories, each of which explores the complexities and nuances of human relationships, particularly those between men and women.The stories in Tenterhooks are set in London at the turn of the 20th century, a time when women were beginning to assert their independence and challenge traditional gender roles. Leverson's writing is characterized by a sharp wit and a keen eye for social satire, and she uses these skills to great effect in her portrayal of the various characters who populate her stories.Some of the stories in Tenterhooks are light and humorous, while others are more serious and poignant. Many of them deal with themes such as love, marriage, infidelity, and social class, and Leverson's writing is often marked by a sense of irony and cynicism.Overall, Tenterhooks is a masterful collection of short stories that offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural world of early 20th century London. Leverson's writing is witty, insightful, and engaging, and her stories are sure to captivate readers with their vivid characters, clever plots, and sharp observations about human nature.Book 2 of The Little Ottleys.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
