Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Story of Glass" by Sara Ware Bassett is a fictional novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around a young girl named Jean Cabot, who is caught between her two uncles, each vying for her custody following the death of her parents. The story explores themes of family, loyalty, and the tensions between different lifestyles as Jean navigates her way through her new life in Boston and, later, Venice." "The opening of "The Story of Glass" introduces Jean, whose life changes when she is sent to live with her uncle Bob Cabot in Boston after being raised by a cousin who marries a missionary. Her other uncle, Tom Curtis from Pittsburgh, contests the arrangement, leading to a comedic but heartfelt dispute between the two uncles over where she should live. The end of the chapter highlights Jean’s innocent charm and her love for both uncles, setting the stage for her future adventures. From the start, the book promises a blend of personal growth and cultural exploration as Jean’s story unfolds amidst family dynamics and her eventual travels to Venice."
