"The Limit" by Ada Leverson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to revolve around the complex relationships and social dynamics of its characters, primarily highlighting Valentia Wyburn and her interactions with those around her, including her husband Romer, her cousin Harry de Freyne, and a millionare named Van Buren. The book seemingly explores themes of love, jealousy, and the quest for happiness amidst societal expectations. At the start of the novel, the attentive and somewhat naive Valentia engages in a conversation with her husband Romer about her decision for him to skip a dinner hosted by Harry, as they both consider how it may affect Daphne, Romer’s sister-in-law. The dialogue reveals hints of tension between the characters, especially regarding societal pressures surrounding Daphne's possible romance with Van Buren. As they navigate through humor and misunderstandings, readers get a glimpse into the intricacies of marriage and familial duty in the context of early 20th-century British society, setting the stage for deeper explorations of love and interpersonal relationships.
