Synopses & Reviews
"A luscious, worldly, sensuous read, surely the equal of its most obvious offspring-Tender is the Night."-Boyd Tonkin, The Independent
Nick and Susy are socially prominent but impoverished New Yorkers. They are in love and decide to marry but realize their chances of happiness are slim without the wealth and society that their more privileged friends take for granted. Nick and Susy agree to separate when either encounters a more eligible proposition. However, during their lavish honeymoon, jealous passions and troubled consciences cause the idyll to crumble. Glimpses of the Moonis one of Edith Wharton's least-known novels but is as compelling as her other works, including The Age of Innocenceand The House of Mirth.
Synopsis
A young couples love is threatened by the destructive power of money
