"Little Nobody" by Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a mysterious young girl, known simply as "Little Nobody," and the complicated lives of the adults who surround her, including a Northern journalist named Eliot Van Zandt, and a retired actress, Madame Lorraine, who seems to own her. Set against the vibrant backdrop of New Orleans during a time of social intricacies and hidden identities, the novel explores themes of social status, innocence, and the harsh realities of adult malice. At the start of the novel, we meet Eliot Van Zandt, a journalist who arrives in New Orleans and is instantly captivated by the city's charm. Soon, he encounters Madame Lorraine, who invites him into her world that includes a intriguing young girl, the titular Little Nobody. Their first encounter reveals that Little Nobody has a complex and tumultuous life, living under the fickle care of Madame Lorraine while navigating her own desires for freedom and identity. The opening chapters hint at a tumultuous backstory of jealousy, rivalry, and a hidden life, promising a rich exploration of the relationships and power dynamics between the characters as the narrative unfolds.
