"As Wharton tells [the] story, the sharp irony of both
her prose and her characters
bleeds into pools of true feeling."Kirkus Reviews
"There are only three or four American novelists who can
be thought of as 'major'and Edith
Wharton is one."Gore Vidal
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
mightin the way of opportunities, I mean.
And then we should be a novelty as married people. We're
both rather unusually popularwhy 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.
