About this ebook
Edith Wharton
Edith Wharton was born in 1862 to a prominent and wealthy New York family. In 1885 she married Boston socialite 'Teddy' Wharton but the marriage was unhappy and they divorced in 1913. The couple travelled frequently to Europe and settled in France, where Wharton stayed until her death in 1937. Her first major novel was The House of Mirth (1905); many short stories, travel books, memoirs and novels followed, including Ethan Frome (1911) and The Reef (1912). She was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature with The Age of Innocence (1920) and she was thrice nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. She was also decorated for her humanitarian work during the First World War.

Reviews for Glimpses of the Moon
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nick and Susy, two New Yorkers with no money, marry each other without any really love between them in order to further their aims. They live as 'hangers on' with their rich friends doing odd jobs and staying in luxurious houses on the continent they can't afford. After an argument they resolve to split up and marry other people, but can they live happily purely in the pursuit of wealth and fancy lifestyles? Having associated Wharton with her novel set in the 1870s, I was surprised at this 1920s novel but the themes of being imprisoned by societal norms are still present. I thought Nick and Susy were both well observed characters and enjoyed how they grew as people. Also some fabulous descriptions of the luxurious lifestyle they aspire to, particularly Susy's desire for a floor length chinchilla cape that's better than anyone else's ?. Could see this being updated, especially if you gave Coral Hicks, Nick's potential fiance, a bigger role.
