Often! but a little at a time, like poor old Swann.
I'm glad I took this time. It picked up to more conventional pacing toward the end, but the beginning was all lovely descriptions of a world home by, seen from the eyes of love, at a kid's height.
All of the sidetrack to Swann's courtship of Odette was maybe a bit much, but it also pulled in the adult perspective of that time and place. Altogether, I'm glad I took this time. It made me sit with a thing I'm still processing.
