Young Rosa Faceby is the undoubted heir to her father’s glassmaking talent. Sharing a life-changing journey to the workshops of Venice, she finds her heart and mind awakened to new possibilities by what she sees, and by the company of a charismatic monk.
But when tragedy strikes, her family is left facing ruin. Pressured to solve their problems by marriage, Rosa is torn between her duty and her craft. With Henry VIII’s tumultuous reforms overshadowing the monastery the Facebys have always served, she will need all her skill to survive in a world ruled by men and simmering with rebellion.
In the midst of motherhood, love and loss, can Rosa keep her family safe? Can Meaux Abbey be saved? And what future can there be for a reform-minded monk and this spirited woman of glass?
