Angelica by Elisabeth Sanxay Holding
"Angelica" by Elisabeth Sanxay Holding is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the character of Angelica Kennedy, a young woman who is restless and discontented with her life in a Harlem apartment, feeling stifled by her current situation and longing for something greater. The book explores themes of ambition, class struggle, and the pursuit of personal fulfillment, particularly through the contrasts between Angelica's aspirations and hermother’s resigned acceptance of their socio-economic status. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Mrs. Kennedy, who struggles to maintain their modest home while caring for her daughter, Angelica. Their interactions reveal the palpable tensions between their dreams and their reality. Angelica, with a strong desire to escape her life in the factory, yearns for a more exciting existence, which leads her to quit her job in pursuit of something better. This tension culminates when Angelica tries to find work as a companion for a wealthy family, facing the challenges and prejudices that come with her socio-economic background. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Angelica's journey as she navigates the complexities of class and identity in her quest for a more glamorous life.
