Florence Durant
|
Florence is Valerie's father, who in turn is the mother of John Sheppard. He lives with his wife in northern France, in a small village in the countryside. They have two other children, twins Benjamin and Betty, born in 1951.
In the fall of 1969 Valerie and her husband Patrick and their two-year-old son David come to visit them in France. It is during this trip Valerie gets pregnant with her second child. They tend to visit Valerie's family in the U.S. every few years. After Valerie's death, they gradually lose contact with the Sheppard family, until they barely exchange birthday cards anymore. Florence dies in 1999, leaving Sylvianne a widow. Historynou ani atlantus |
