About this listen

 Nick Lansing and Susy Branch are young, attractive but impoverished New Yorkers. They are in love and decide to marry, but realise their chances of happiness are slim without the wealth and society that their more privileged friends take for granted. Nick and Susy agree to separate when 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.

A different kind of love story

I love Classics, the writing is smooth and the flow is perfect. The Social structure plays a heavy role in every aspect of our lives. The characters in this novel have a desire to climb the financial ladder but can't seem to find what they have with each other in anyone else. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
