Great Possessions
Her wealth gave her glamour and position - and took away love.

The gypsy Thirza predicted a wealthy but difficult life for her granddaughter Eleanor "Lonnie" Dunwell, an illegitimate working class girl. In 1921 her prediction comes true: Lonnie unexpectedly inherits five million dollars, and her safe world falls tragically apart. At seventeen, well brought up but starved of affection, she falls into the unscrupulous hands of a charming, attractive American lawyer.

As Lonnie is whisked around 1930s London, she discovers cocktail parties, adultery, politics and heartbreak. Slowly, a secret determination grows: to escape this unreal life and find her one true love. This rags to riches drama depicts the great and unexpected inheritance which comes between the wars.
