Geneviève by Mme. E. de Pressensé
"Geneviève" by Mme. E. de Pressensé is a novel written in the late 19th century.

The narrative primarily revolves around the character Geneviève, a beautiful four-year-old girl, whose fate intertwines with the lives of others through the difficult choices made by her caretakers. The opening of the novel sets a vivid
scene in a poor Parisian neighborhood, where a young noblewoman is seen searching for a specific address. The reader is introduced to the somber reality of the impoverished families, particularly the Marceau family, who face the tough decision of parting with Geneviève, a child they love as one of their own.
