Susy and Nick are a young, attractive, and penniless couple who have recently married. They move in fashionable society but lack the financial means to sustain their extravagant lifestyle. To remedy their financial woes, they devise a plan: they will enter into temporary marriages with wealthy acquaintances, ensuring they have access to the luxuries they desire without the burden of permanent commitment.

About the author
Edith Wharton (January 24, 1862 – August 11, 1937) was an American novelist, short story writer, and designer, known for her keen insight into the complexities of human relationships and her astute observations of the upper classes in early 20th-century America. She was born into a wealthy and socially prominent family in New York City.
Wharton received a private education and developed a love for literature and storytelling from an early age. Her literary career began in earnest in the late 19th century, and she published her first collection of stories, "The Greater Inclination," in 1899. However, it was with the release of her novel "The House of Mirth" in 1905 that she gained widespread recognition for her writing. This novel, along with subsequent works such as "Ethan Frome" (1911) and "The Age of Innocence" (1920), solidified her reputation as a prominent figure in American literature.
