Welcome back to The
Literal Booker Legacy! We are finally at generation 8!
A quick recap for
everyone:
So, Yvonne Booker was our beloved founder and she married her college
sweetheart, Andrea Benson. They had two daughters, Wynne (Diana Wynne Jones) and Austen
(Jane Austen).
Austen was chosen as
heiress and she married her high school sweetheart, Cherry Tan. Together they
had four children: Bronte (The Bronte Sisters – Emily, Charlotte, Anne),
Hardy (Thomas Hardy), Lawrence (D.H. Lawrence), and Atwood (Margaret Atwood).
Bronte and Atwood
were tied at the heir poll and Bronte was ultimately chosen by me. Bronte ruled
her generation singlehandedly, giving birth to Ellis (Bret Easton Ellis) and Shelley
(Mary Shelley).
I chose Shelley as heiress and she married her
high school sweetheart, Heath Butler, and they had three children: Angelou (Maya Angelou), Morrison (Toni Morrison), and Baldwin (James Baldwin).
Baldwin won the heir
poll, becoming the first male heir of the legacy! Baldwin married Serdar
Shaikh, who he met at college, and they produced the first all-male generation
– Dickens (Charles Dickens) and Wilde (Oscar Wilde). Unfortunately both Wilde and Dickens were face clones
but Wilde won the heirship anyway.
Wilde married Lilly
Do after having difficulty in finding a wife. Together, Wilde and Lilly brought
another four Bookers into the legacy: Gaiman (Neil Gaiman), Eliot (George Eliot), Du Maurier (Daphne du Maurier), and Ryman (Geoff Ryman), the only alien to appear
in the legacy so far.
Eliot won the
heirship poll by a landslide and she married her college beau, Bruce Shweber.
They had three children, Joyce (James
Joyce), Alcott (Louisa May Alcott),
and Christie (Agatha Christie).
Which brings us to
this chapter, introducing Christie Booker and her fiancé, Blair Thorne, as they
return back to the house to bring in generation 8. Are you ready?
Let’s go!
