In 1892 Manhattan, Clara Wolcott Driscoll, the true creator of Louis Comfort Tiffany's lamps, runs the glass-cutting department surrounded by the «Tiffany Girls». The novel portrays these artists' struggle to make their way in the workshop and in a male-dominated society, at the height of Art Nouveau.

For fans of historical fiction and stories of women artists, and for those interested in the history of design and Art Nouveau.
