The Glass Virgin
Ten-year-old Annabella Lagrange, daughter of a wealthy glassworks-owning family, lives the life of an only child in Redford Hall with her mother Rosina and her puritanical nanny, completely unaware that her father is a gambler and womaniser. Seven years later, devastated by the revelation that her real mother is a prostitute, she flees the comfort of the family home to start a new life of poverty. Unexpectedly, she is reunited with Manuel Mendoza, her father’s handsome young groom, and her life takes yet another dramatic turn…
