With brio, Chloé Cruchaudet concludes her two-parter about the ties that bound Céleste Albaret and Marcel Proust.

In 1914, Céleste is 23 and married to a taxi driver. One of his regular customers is writer Marcel Proust, whose secretary she will become. Céleste will follow him through all his fads and remain faithful to him up to his death in 1923. Chloé Cruchaudet's unique and graceful style pays homage to two fascinating personalities, one crowned with literature's historic laurels, the other in his shadow, providing readers with an amazing journey into Belle Époque Paris.
