'Love at Second Sight' Summary
In the captivating sequel to Ada Leverson's acclaimed novel "The Little Ottleys," "Love at Second Sight" plunges us back into the intricate lives of Edith and Bruce Ottley. Three years have passed since their marriage teetered on the brink of collapse, and while they have managed to maintain a semblance of stability, their relationship remains deeply scarred by the past.
Edith's forgiving nature and unwavering patience have kept their marriage afloat, but the arrival of Aylmer, a man from Edith's past, stirs up long-buried emotions and threatens to unravel the fragile threads of their reconciliation. Aylmer, wounded and disillusioned from his experiences in France, seeks refuge in Edith's comforting presence, reawakening a love that was once thought lost.
