Susy Branch and Nick Lansing are typical Wharton heroes: popular,
attractive, and much poorer than their “international set”
friends. Like Lily Bart in The House of Mirth, the two depend on
the largesse of more privileged acquaintances to get by.
Recognizing in each other a desire for the finer things in life,
they decide to get married and, knowing that their friends will
happily provide fabulous accommodations, live rent-free on an
extended honeymoon until either one of them finds a better
match—at which point they will amicably divorce and sail off into
their separate, wealthier sunsets. But a romantic tour of
Europe can confuse even the most mercenary hearts. And when a
friend asks for a favor in exchange for the use of her palazzo,
Susy and Nick realize that everything in this sophisticated world
comes at a price: one that their hearts and consciences may no
longer allow them to pay. . .
