La petite Cady by Camille Pert
"La petite Cady" by Camille Pert is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Cady, a vivacious young girl from a bourgeois family, who navigates a complex web of relationships within her household, marked by secrets, innocence, and encounters with the adult world. The novel appears to explore themes of childhood, education, and the impact of a morally ambiguous environment on young minds. At the startof the story, we are introduced to a tense scene involving Cady and her mother, Mme Darquet, as they visit a judge following a crime that has occurred in their household. Cady's innocence is juxtaposed with the dark realities surrounding her, as she struggles to recount the events of the night of the crime, which involves her deceased governess. The narrative then transitions to Cady's everyday life at home, highlighting her interactions with her mother, her new governess, Mlle Armande, and the household staff, revealing a world infused with both affection and danger, as Cady begins to uncover the harsh truths hidden beneath her seemingly glamorous upbringing.
