"Isolée" by Brada is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Sylvaine Charmoy, a young woman facing significant changes in her life, forced to leave behind her familiar surroundings and adapt to a new life after the death of her beloved grandmother. The narrative explores themes of loneliness, familial ties, and the struggles associated with transitioning to a different environment. The opening of "Isolée" sets the stage with a conversation in a Parisian bakery, where the patrons discuss the fate of a young girl facing an uncertain future due to a wealthy uncle in England. Sylvaine is portrayed through the voices of those who have cared about her, revealing a web of relationships and expectations that shape her life. As the women express their concerns about Sylvaine's moving away, we witness her internal turmoil sparked by impending changes and the burden of her family's past. With a deep sense of nostalgia, Sylvaine reflects on her life with her grandmother and grapples with the anxiety of stepping into the unknown, establishing a poignant backdrop for her journey throughout the rest of the novel.
