Summary: "Au tournant des jours" by Daniel Lesueur is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the character Gilles de Claircœur, a popular feuilletonist known for her captivating tales that resonate with the emotions of the masses. The unfolding narrative seems to delve into her life, relationships, and the societal expectations she faces as a woman of letters in a male-dominated environment. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Gilles de Claircœur as she arrives at the offices of the newspaper "Petit Quotidien", where her work has garnered both acclaim and ridicule. The story captures a moment of disappointment as the theatrical figure Marcel Fagueyrat is surprised to see that Gilles, not the grand hero he imagined, but rather a middle-aged woman, is the author behind the captivating stories. As she navigates her workplace, encounter with colleagues, and her aspirations, readers witness her resilience and the contrast between her perceived persona and the reality of her life as a content yet unconventional woman writer. The opening hints at her burgeoning success, her connections with her family, and a glimpse into the complexities of her character that will likely set the stage for deeper themes throughout the novel.
