Glimpses of the Moon

Glimpses of the MoonSet 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.

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.

How their plan unfolds is a comedy of eros that will charm all fans of Wharton's work.
