Wildest Dreams (The Contemporary Collection)
“She leaned close to look at herself in the mirror over the lavatory. Her eyes were indisputably brown, much like Violet’s had been, also like those of her mother and her father both, as far as that went. Mimi’s eyes had been gray. Natalie’s eyes were gray-blue, but perhaps more on the gray side. Timothy’s eyes were hazel.
Gilbert Fossier had had hazel eyes. Allain Massari’s had been gray.
None of which really counted for anything, since Mimi had married a distant Fossier cousin, a man descended... from Gilbert’s younger brother, whom Violet had mentioned in the journal. At least everyone had always thought Mimi and her husband, whom they called Pop, were distant cousins.
Mimi must have known it wasn’t so.
Or perhaps not. Violet had not seemed too certain herself which man was the father of her child.
It was difficult for Joletta to think of her ancestors as hiding secrets or living with mistakes. They had for so many years just been names on the family tree, almost legendary figures.MoreLess
