A review by teresatumminello
The Sweet Cheat Gone (The Fugitive) In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust

4.0

None of my GR friends who've added this book as 'read' have reviewed it and I may take that as a sign that I don't 'have' to either. But, no, my real 'excuse' is that almost from the very beginning of my reading this, it was a time of two personal losses, which is 'appropriate' in that the story, what there is of one, is also one of loss and grief, but in such an abstract way, or so it seemed to me, that I had a hard time identifying mine with its, and I am generally very good at universalizing the particular.

With the conflation of two women, the two sexes and the possible reconciliation of the two côtés, this volume read to me as if it could've been the end of the whole work. But there is one more, so on to that one I go.
