| Summary |
"Pour moi seule : roman" by André Corthis is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Alvère, a young woman who reflects on her life and her family's struggles, revealing the complexities of her relationships with her mother, sister, and the men she encounters in her new life. The story explores themes of identity, family legacy, and the interplay of personal desires against societal expectations. The opening of the novel establishes a contemplative and introspective tone as Alvère observes her surroundings and the mundane activities of her family. It introduces her desire to articulate her thoughts and experiences, particularly the painful history her mother has kept hidden. Through a series of conversations with her sister Guicharde and their mother about their past and the expectations placed upon them, readers glimpse the tensions surrounding family secrets and societal judgment. The detailed setting and reflections on memory create an intimate atmosphere, setting the stage for Alvère's evolving understanding of herself and the world she inhabits.
