The Money Moon (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. An Edwardian Romantic Comedy of Inheritance, Country House Courtship, and English Countryside AdventureBy Jeffery Farnol
Length7h 55m
About this audiobook
The Money Moon is an Edwardian romance of inheritance, courtship, and moral revaluation, set amid Farnol's beloved English lanes, inns, gardens, and country houses. Its plot turns on wealth not merely as fortune but as a test of character, bringing lovers, eccentrics, children, and rivals into a comedy of manners touched with melodrama. Written in Farnol's richly cadenced, slightly archaic prose, the novel belongs to the early twentieth-century revival of romantic fiction, where pastoral idealism and adventure resist the harsher realism of the age. Jeffery Farnol, born in Birmingham in 1878 and long familiar with both English provincial life and American literary markets, became famous after The Broad Highway established his reputation as a master of popular romance. His fiction often reflects a craftsmanlike delight in speech, gesture, costume, and atmosphere, as well as a persistent belief that gentility is ethical rather than merely social. The Money Moon reveals his characteristic fascination with chivalry translated into modern life. Readers who enjoy humane, leisurely romances will find this novel especially rewarding. It is recommended for admirers of Anthony Hope, Stanley Weyman, and early romantic comedy: a gracious, witty, and tender book in which money matters less than courage, kindness, and the imagination of love.
