| Summary | "Bijou" by Gyp is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the youthful and enchanting character Denyse de Courtaix, nicknamed Bijou, who is adored by all around her, including her family and the young men in her circle. Set against a backdrop of familial interactions and societal expectations, the novel explores themes of beauty, innocence, and the complexities of love and desire. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Bijou and her family, including her grandmother, Marquise de Bracieux, and her cousin, Jean de Blaye. They engage in playful banter as they observe Bijou's graceful and charming presence, which captures the attention of men and women alike. The family dynamics are revealed through their conversations, where they express their opinions on love and societal conventions. Bijou emerges as a central figure whose beauty and innocence draw the admiration and affection of everyone around her, hinting at future romantic entanglements and the challenges that come with her desirability.
