A young couple's love is threatened by the destructive power of money  by one of the greatest
authors of her age In this beautiful novel  Edith Wharton perceptively describes the seductions
and temptations of high society with all her trademark wit and irony. 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.
