Summary: "Seule" by Henri Ardel is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book centers around Ghislaine de Vorges, a young woman who suddenly finds herself orphaned and impoverished after the death of her father, a general. As she grapples with her new reality, she navigates the struggles of seeking employment and redefining her identity in a society that values wealth and status, presenting a poignant exploration of resilience and societal expectations. At the start of the novel, Ghislaine is in the office of a notary, Maître Chauvelin, receiving the grim news about her father's financial ruin. Despite her elegance and the expectation of a life filled with privilege, she realizes she is left with very little—around fourteen hundred francs in rental income. The chapter illustrates her inner turmoil as she contemplates her bleak future, the burdens of poverty, and the societal pressures of being a woman without a fortune in a patriarchal society. With determination and a sense of duty ingrained in her family legacy, Ghislaine resolves to find a means of supporting herself, leading her to explore options such as becoming a governess or a reader, showcasing her courage in the face of adversity.
