Pour moi seule is a 1919 French novel that follows a young woman, Alvère, as she confronts family secrets and her own desires while wavering between love and social expectation. Through introspective monologue and conversation, the novel quietly explores domestic pressure, class awareness, and a woman's self-formation.

Family shadows and the hint of romance gradually illuminate one woman's inner life.
