1 · POSITION

Daughter of LHL-P-013 Charles Forte and co-founder with her brother LHL-P-424 of LHL-033 Rocco Forte Hotels in 1996, where she is director of design. The house was founded in the year Granada took LHL-485 Forte Group.

2 · ⚑ CANDOUR, AND A PATTERN THIS LIBRARY KEEPS MEETING

This entry is thinner than her brother’s and the reason is worth stating: the trade record describes the takeover, the finance and the buy-back through him, and names her as co-founder without following what she did. The Library has recorded the same asymmetry nine times in a working week — Marguerite Boucicaut, the Carita sisters, Helen Badrutt, Marie Blanc, Raymonde Fenestraz among them. Recording the gap is not the same as filling it, and this entry will be written properly when a source supports it.
