Heir to a Story
On July 16, 1789, I became the diary of Marié Amélie Céleste Condé, direct descendant of Louis XIV and the rightful heir to the French throne. Well, her older brother was. Before the revolution her family had been planning to reclaim their birthright, but after the storming of the Bastille they fled France--seeking refuge in Canada--and changed their name to Lagnier for fear of their conspiracy being discovered. For many years I was Marié’s companion and confidant as she became accustomed to life in the new and foreign country. In me, she chronicled her adventures and romances, her struggles and memories, but most importantly, she recorded her family tree into my front cover.
