Synopsis
Céleste Albaret, who was Proust's housekeeper and confidante during the last eight years of his life, first published these memoirs in 1972, 50 years after Proust's death. As the woman who knew Proust better, perhaps, than anyone else, she sheds invaluable light on not only his deeply eccentric personal habits, his precarious health, and his likes and dislikes, but also on the way he worked and on the source of much of the material in his monumental novel.

Industry Reviews
"This is not an account of Proust the artist, connoisseur, philosopher, or stylist, but here we meet him in...a space where he is charming, distrustful, exhausting, tyrannical, mystifying, neurotic, funny, but most of all impressive in the singularity of his devotion to his great aim, the book he had been working on since his mother's death."
Threepenny Review - Bert Keizer

"Albaret gives a minute account of domestic duties, an accountancy clearly absorbed from Proust's continual demands. Her homage exposes Proust's despotism even as she explains it away....This memoir may provide inadvertent evidence of Proust's monstrous ego, but it also points to Albaret's own powers of observation."
Times Literary Supplement - Ingrid Wassenaar (07/02/2004)
