Sinopsis

‘A master storyteller' - Elizabeth Strout

The power of money threatens young love in this charming story of romantic misadventure by one of the greatest authors of America's Gilded Age

Nick Lansing and Susy Branch are young and attractive, but penniless. Gracefully moving through New York high society, they have the right connections but none of the wealth. When they inconveniently fall in love, Susy devises a plan. They will marry and spend a year flitting across Europe, staying in the homes of their rich friends and living off honeymoon gifts until either one of them meets a better, richer prospect.

But jealous passions and troubled consciences soon cause their idyll to crumble. Told with Edith Wharton's trademark wit, Glimpses of the Moon is a tartly amusing story of social climbing and romantic misadventure from one of our greatest writers.

Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe.
