Set in New York in the 1920s, The Glimpses of the Moon details the
romantic misadventures of Nick Lansing and Susy Branch, two
high-society hangers-on with the right connections but a lack of funds.
To maintain their status, they decide to marry and spend a year or so
sponging off their wealthy friends, honeymooning in their mansions and
villas. Both agree that if either one of them meets someone who can
advance them socially, they’re each free to dissolve the marriage. How
their scheme unfolds is a comedy of Eros that will charm all fans of
Wharton’s work.
"A luscious, worldly, sensuous read, surely the equal of its most
obvious offspring, Tender is the Night."—The Independent
“As Wharton tells [the] story, the sharp irony of both her prose and
her characters bleeds into pools of true feeling.”—Kirkus Reviews
