What is this film ... is it an adaptation of a novel??

I can't remember the name of this film. I may have some details wrong but a young girl is orphaned or abandoned in 1800s London? has some tough times and enters into prostitution. Has a daughter, leaves the daughter but at the end sends someone for the daughter... the man sent to get the daughter is the narrator... and I believe the last scene is them reunited. Spinning around on a beach? And is this adapted from classic literature?

    "Moll Flanders" it stars Morgan Freeman and Robin Wright Penn. It is an adaptation of Daniel Dafoe's novel (1722) "The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders"

    I love that movie.

    It sounds like Les Miserables like the lady above me said but as i remember Les Mis was placed in France and the mother dies and Jean Val Jean cares for the daughter. so as i write i will have a change of heart and say sorry i do not know what this is.

    Wait my wife is over my shoulder and she says it's Moll Flanders!
