The Glimpses of the Moon - by Edith Wharton (Paperback)

The Glimpses of the Moon is a rediscovered classic that will charm all fans of Edith Wharton's work.

Set in the 1920s, this novel details the romantic misadventures of Nick Lansing and Susy Branch, a couple with connections but not much in the way of funds.

They devise a shrewd bargain: they'll marry and spend a year or so sponging off their wealthy friends, honeymooning in their mansions and villas.

As Susy explains, "We should really, in a way, help more than hamper each other.

We both know the ropes so well; what one of us didn't see the other might - in the way of opportunities, I mean." The plan unfolds as a comedy of eros that will delight readers.

With its sharp insights into society and relationships, The Glimpses of the Moon is a must-read for fans of Wharton's work.
