Here is the synopsis from Goodreads:
Against the unforgettable backdrop of New York near the turn of
the twentieth century, from the Gilded Age world of formal balls and
opera to the immigrant poverty of the Lower East Side, bestselling
author Susan Vreeland again breathes life into a work of art in this
extraordinary novel, which brings a woman once lost in the shadows into
vivid color.
It’s 1893, and at the Chicago World’s Fair, Louis
Comfort Tiffany makes his debut with a luminous exhibition of innovative
stained-glass windows, which he hopes will honor his family business
and earn him a place on the international artistic stage. But behind the
scenes in his New York studio is the freethinking Clara Driscoll, head
of his women’s division. Publicly unrecognized by Tiffany, Clara
conceives of and designs nearly all of the iconic leaded-glass lamps for
which he is long remembered.
Clara struggles with her desire for
artistic recognition and the seemingly insurmountable challenges that
she faces as a professional woman, which ultimately force her to protest
against the company she has worked so hard to cultivate. She also
yearns for love and companionship, and is devoted in different ways to
five men, including Tiffany, who enforces to a strict policy: he does
not hire married women, and any who do marry while under his employ must
resign immediately. Eventually, like many women, Clara must decide what
makes her happiest—the professional world of her hands or the personal
world of her heart.
