Description
In 1922, two years after publication of the Pulitzer Prize-wining classic The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton published a novel that was acclaimed by The New York Times and quickly became an international bestseller. Set in the 1920s, The Glimpses of the Moon details the romantic misadventures of Nick Lansing and Susy Branch, a couple with the right 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 we should 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. And then we should be a novelty as married people. We're both rather unusually popular - why not be frank? - and it's such a blessing for dinner-givers to be able to count on a couple of whom neither one is a blank." The other part of the plan is that if either one of them meets someone who can advance them socially, they're each free to dissolve the marriage. How their plan unfolds is a comedy of eros that will charm all fans of Wharton's work. Out of print for decades, The Glimpses of the Moon is a welcome addition to the literary achievement of one of our most enduring authors.
