A charming story of romantic misadventures where a young couple's
love is threatened by the power of money, by one of the greatest
authors of her age Nick Lansing and Susy Branch are young,
attractive, but impoverished New Yorkers. They are in love and
decide to marry, but they realise their chances of happiness are
slim without the wealth and status that their more privileged
friends take for granted. Nick and Susy agree to separate whenever
either encounters a more eligible proposition. However, as they
honeymoon in friends' lavish houses, from a villa on Lake Como to a
Venetian palace, jealous passions and troubled consciences cause
the idyll to crumble. In this beautiful novel, Edith Wharton
perceptively describes the seductions and temptations of high
society with all her trademark wit and irony.
