Vanessa
by Hugh Walpole
The fourth and final volume of the Gerry Chronicles is a love story of the 'brilliance of light', which begins with the triumph of Judith Paris' centennial birthday in the 1870s and later tragically disappointed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Often still set in the midst of the splendor of the English landscape of the lake district, the film tells the passionate and unforgettable story of Judith's granddaughter Vanessa and her cousin Benji, whom she vowed would never betray as a child.
