Summary "The Clique of Gold" by Emile Gaboriau is a novel written during the late 19th century. The book delves into the dark underbelly of Parisian society, focusing on the lives of its residents in an intricately described apartment building. Central to the story are the characters of Henrietta, a young girl suffering from the horrors of poverty, and Papa Ravinet, a second-hand dealer whose interest may intertwine with her fate. At the start of "The Clique of Gold," the narrative introduces us to No. 23 in Grange Street, a seemingly respectable yet sinister residence with a reputation marred by tales of its inhabitants. We learn of a tragic incident as the residents discover young Henrietta’s suicide attempt in her room due to dire straits. This event draws the combined attention of several neighbors, particularly Papa Ravinet, who seems to have ulterior motives in his actions of compassion for Henrietta. The opening sets the stage for a tale of intrigue, moral ambiguity, and societal commentary, as various characters navigate their personal struggles against the backdrop of a ruthless city.
