Aunt Mathilde

As far as most members of the Marchmont extended family were concerned, Aunt Mathilde had never existed. The saga of the Aunt who never was began when Rachelle, aged twenty-three, received a call from the family lawyer. A kindly old man who’d served the Marchmonts for decades, Jean-Luc was a dear friend, but he’d never exactly had cause to call the youngest of the Marchmont cousins - nor had Rachelle ever done anything warranting such a call. She was, after all, utterly unremarkable.
