“My paternal grandmother, Irene Miville Horton was descendant of not one fille du roi, but fifteen. Fifteen seemed like quite a lot until my research found people with a many as 80”.
Book: Descended from the mothers of Quebec by Paul Harvey Horton Jr.this is self-published.There are so few books on the fille du rio in English.I‘ve done some gen research on dads side.Mostly French Canadian and French.how many fille du roi I‘m related to🤷♀️.
Adding to my TBR from Half Price Books today. The back cover blurb is intriguing - sounds like an introspective character focused novel.
I found nothing that was already on my list! 🤨
pick🌟🌟🌟🌟 The Family Under the Bridge is one of my favorite Christmas chapter books and I actually only read it for the first time a couple years ago. Since I‘ve gotten into a bit of a vintage book obsession in recent months, I decided to try another older Christmas book by Natalie Savage Carlson this year. I still like the other one better, but I really enjoyed this one, too. I‘m calling this book 1 of my #VintageBookishChristmas. More to come!🎄
