Summary: "The Extraordinary Confessions of Diana Please" by Bernard Capes is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the life of its main character, Diana Rosemonde de St. Croix, a spirited young girl who reflects on her tumultuous existence filled with strange encounters, abduction, and personal growth. The narrative is presented as a memoir dictated by Diana to her friend, the Marquis de C----, as she recounts her adventures and the complexities of her relationships. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Diana's perspective, which is laced with wit and a touch of defiance. We learn about her whimsical views on age and her lineage—born to a beautiful mother and an aristocratic father, yet raised in a confusing world after her mother's retreat into a convent. The opening chapters set the stage for her tumultuous escapades, including her encounters with various characters, her adventures with a sweep, and her evolving sense of self as she navigates through romantic notions and harsh realities of life. The tone is both charming and reflective, promising a journey through Diana's extraordinary experiences that explore themes of identity and societal expectations.
