Summary "Tenterhooks" by Ada Leverson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the lives of the Ottley family, primarily focusing on the characters Bruce and Edith Ottley, exploring themes of social conventions, family dynamics, and romantic entanglements within their circle. The opening of the novel introduces us to Edith, who is feeling unwell, and contrasts her situation with Bruce, who is ironically trying to redirect attention onto himself by feigning an illness. As they prepare to welcome their first child, there is humorous discourse regarding names, particularly the name "Matilda," which Bruce rejects in favor of "Aspasia." The narrative blends witty dialogue and keen observations about the characters’ relationships and societal expectations, all while hinting at the complexities of their interactions with family and friends, including a forthcoming dinner invitation from the Mitchells that sets off a series of misunderstandings. This initial glimpse into the Ottley household hints at both tender affection and societal satire, setting the stage for the intertwining stories that will unfold.
