The Fowlers of Sweet Valley

[stellanova]

I am about half-way through my recap of the final part of the Rivalries mini-series, the ominously titled A Kiss Before Dying, but daniellafromage's excellent Wakefields of Sweet Valley has inspired me to repost the recap of The Fowlers of Sweet Valley, which I posted on my own LJ a year or two ago.

Awesome recap :)

But... Isabelle and Jacques got married and had sex before Isabelle ended up with Charles. There's something vaguely incestuous about their grandchildren (George and Grace) getting married and having sex. I'm not entirely sure about where the incestuousness actually fits in, but I'm sure there's something dodgy about that? :)

It's all technically legal, just creepy as hell. Nobody is related by blood.

Really? Because if George is a descendant of Isabelle and Jacques, and Grace is descended from Isabelle and Charles aren't they distantly related? Or did Isabelle only have the one child with Jacques? Which would be sort of odd because this book mainly went down the maternal line so you'd think Grace and Isabelle would have some connection. Am I thinking about this too much?

No, Lila didn't have any children with Charles - it was a secret marriage and they only had sex once without any secret babies as a result!

Ugh, that was meant to be Jacques, sorry!
