| Summary | "Elsie Lindtner" by Karin Michaëlis is a sequel novel written in the early 20th century. It continues the story of Elsie Lindtner, a complex female protagonist grappling with the trials of middle age and societal expectations of femininity and happiness. The narrative focuses on her journey through personal reflection, relationships, and the quest for genuine fulfillment in a world that often overlooks women's inner lives. The opening of "Elsie Lindtner" reintroduces readers to the titular character as she navigates her life after divorce and the looming fears associated with aging, particularly entering her forties. It begins with Elsie's desperate plea for financial help from her ex-husband Richard, revealing her precarious situation following a series of gambling losses in Monte Carlo. As she attempts to escape her boredom and contemplate the choices that led her here, the narrative paints a vivid picture of her relationships with those around her, including her companion Jeanne and memories of her past. Through her frank correspondence, the reader gets to witness Elsie's inner turmoil, her craving for independence, and her complex reflections on love and loss, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of her character and the challenges she faces.
