The Gascony Inheritance
A legacy is not inherited – it is claimed
When award-winning costume designer Claudine Hudson-Reid inherits her ancestral château in Gascony, she envisages elaborate banquets, not hostility. Determined to establish her reputation independent of her influential ex-husband, she plans to divide her time between Paris and the family estate. But in a village where she is seen as an interloper, a neighbouring winegrower quietly schemes to acquire her land.
The discovery of a hat believed to have belonged to d’Artagnan – Gascony’s most celebrated hero – provides Claudine with an unexpected sense of connection and shared heritage. Determined to authenticate and preserve it, Claudine must prove she is not merely claiming a legacy, but creating one – before local opposition costs her both the château and her hard-won independence.
