Clarinda

the long version

Clarinda Driessen und zu der Werra, is young and married by convenience to "poor Albert", a man many years her senior, but Clarinda is an intelligent woman, drowning in a loveless marriage and can count Goethe, no less, between her acquaintances from the culturate crowd and parlors in the city of Weimar. When Felipe, a dashing and misterious Spanish adventurer shows up, sweeping Clarinda off her feet and running away together to Mexico, where he has silver mines, Clarinda finds herself in the middle of Hidalgo's revolution, in a tale of love, lost love and bloody war, always overlook by the headless angel, like our heroin, a beautiful girl of angelic beauty, who loses her head for a love that almost costs her her life.
