I remember when Livia moved into the neighborhood...with her beauty and dark complexsion, she was very exotic to all pre-teen boys. Hearing she was french, made her all the more mysterious. We didn't share much in common then, but now I would appreciate her worldiness. Such a tragic story about her and her sister.
