Glimpses of the Moon

Book • 1922
The novel details the lives of Nick Lansing and Susy Branch, a couple with the right social connections but limited financial resources.

They devise a plan to marry and spend their honeymoon sponging off their wealthy friends, with the understanding that if either meets someone who can advance them socially, they are free to dissolve the marriage.

As they navigate their arrangement, they face internal conflicts, external societal pressures, and the realization of genuine feelings for each other.

The book is a satire of the lives of the rich, exploring themes of marriage, money, and the importance of communication, love, and trust.
