Description
"Innocent: her fancy and his fact" by Marie Corelli is a novel published in 1914. Raised on a prosperous English farm, Innocent believes herself the illegitimate daughter of her guardian Hugo Jocelyn. A deathbed confession shatters this certainty, revealing she was abandoned during a storm by a mysterious stranger. When her birth mother appears—a shallow noblewoman—Innocent learns the truth about her origins and sets out for London to make her own name as a writer, seeking identity and love in a world that judges illegitimate children harshly.
