Summary "Les petites alliées" by Claude Farrère is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces Célia, a young woman navigating her life as a courtesan in Toulon, and details her interactions with society, including her friendship with the flamboyant marquise Dorée. The narrative explores themes of beauty, desire, and the societal roles of women during that time, painting a vivid picture of Célia's complex existence. At the start of the novel, Célia wakes up late in the afternoon, in a state of disarray, as she prepares to host a tea gathering. Her interactions with her maid, Favouille, reveal her slightly tumultuous but lively nature. Once her friend Dorée arrives, a lively dialogue unfolds, touching upon their past relationships and plans for the evening. The opening sets the tone for a story filled with vibrant characters and social commentary, as Célia reflects on her life and the men who have influenced her, drawing readers into a world of passion and societal expectations.
