| Summary | "Angelinette" by Neel Doff is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young woman named Angelinette, who navigates the complexities of her life in a Parisian brothel, exploring themes of desire, identity, and the expectations of women in her situation. The opening sets the tone for her fragile existence and reflects on her relationships, showcasing the intricacies of her interactions with the various characters in her world. The opening of the book introduces Angelinette in a brothel as she dances languidly with a Danish sailor, establishing her physical frailty and emotional detachment from her surroundings. Faced with a history of abandonment and exploitation, Angelinette seems to adopt a passive role in her relationships, ultimately preferring the company of larger men who can carry her through her wearisome life. As her story unfolds, we learn about her lineage and how she has been shaped by her mother's choices, her upbringing, and her grandmother's legacy, hinting at a cycle of hardship and survival. The various interactions reveal a community intertwined with desire and resignation, inviting readers to reflect on the nuances of Angelinette's world and the struggles she faces amid her apparent allure.
