lighthearted sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

My voyage through Proust begins...

Loved the color... descriptions bringing the settings and those in them to rich life. This is a read to be sipped and savored...like a cup of chocolate at Angelina's in Paris.

A challenge to read, I loved the beginning and the end but the middle was soooo long about Swann’s obsession about Odette. But I can’t dismiss a classic like this of course.

"Les lieux que nous avons connus n'appartiennent pas qu'au monde de l'espace où nous les situons pour plus de facilité. Ils n'étaient qu'une mince tranche au milieu d'impressions contiguës qui formaient notre vie d'alors; le souvenir d'une certaine image n'est que le regret d'un certain instant; et les maisons, les routes, les avenues, sont fugitives, hélas, comme les années."
