The Glass Garden
Paperback
(Frances Lincoln Ltd Feb. 1, 2001)
Lorenzo, a Venetian glassmaker, lives with his wife and daughter in a palace with beautiful gardens. When his wife gets stung by a bee and dies, he takes his daughter away to live on a rocky island where there are no bees to sting, but no birds or flowers. There he build his daughter an exquisite glass garden filled with glass birds and butterflies, where time stands still. One night, a glass gondola leads Lucia to a mysterious masked stranger whose gift of a rose pierces the heart of her fragile life.
