In Search of Lost Time: Time Regained by Marcel Proust
4.0
Well it's been quite a journey! It's taken a few years for me to get through all the volumes of this feted work and coincidentally I finished the great journey of Virginia Woolfs diaries and letters only two days ago also, so I will always think of them in parallel as they have both kept me such wonderful company so long.
In this last book Proust gathers all his loose threads together criss-crossing all the 'ways' and characters together into a plait showing how they all relate. Finally, the plait is tied in a neat bow and that bow is Mlle de Saint-Loup, grandaughter of Odette and Swan (the Meseglise Way) and the Guermantes line (the Guermantes Way), and daughter of Gilberte and Robert de Saint-Loup. A satisfying end to a long and winding journey where the path was studded with gold.
