Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'Magnificent. Like Michael Cunningham in his prizewinning The Hours, Taylor-shows how events in a writer's life and themes in his work have resonance for subsequent generations. Taylor's is, however, much the richer, subtler, less deterministic work.truly inspired' - Michael Arditti, The TimesMarie Prevost is a contemporary Canadian who sets off for Paris to research Proust and escape a failed romance. Sarah Bensimon is a young Parisian Jew who marries into an orthodox family and takes refuge in her kitchen, recreating a kosher version of classic French cuisine. The third woman is madame Jeanne Proust herself, fragments of whose 'diaries' are recreated with impeccably researched detail - as she worries about Marcel, his late-night habits, his diet and his unsuitable friends.All these strands are brought poignantly together - the new world and the old, the Seine and the St Lawrence, mothers and sons, outsiders and insiders - in this intelligent and beautifully judged debut novel. The lives of three women intersect in this novel about memory and loss, prejudice and unrequited love - not to mention literature and cooking as cures for heartbreak. Their stories criss-cross between Paris in the 1890s at the height of the Dreyfus affair, France in 1942, and present-day Canada.
