I loathe Proust and would never recommend his work to anyone. If only there were a way to give negative stars. I will tell you right now everything you need to know from this book. He eats a madeleine (shell shaped biscuit of sorts) dipped in tea and this sends him hurtling down memory lane. This scene probably gets referred to more than any other Proust moment so you can snobbishly refer to it and everyone will think you read the whole darn tome (since probably nobody else ever finished it either). How dare I be such a snot about a masterpiece? Oh well.
This book is awesome but very long i love it. It is very realistic and harsh. I know your thinking then why do you love it. Because that's life. I also like it because it's based upon a true story about how a girl's life was flipped up side down once her mother died. She was raped, started tricking (sex for money) , and go hooked on drugs all at the age of seven and still managed to recovery. Inspirational book
