Klappentext Kate Taylor is a Toronto writer and cultural journalist, born in France and raised in Ottowa. She has been a theatre critic at The Globe and Mail , winning awards for her reviews and has also contributed to Canadian Art, Applied Arts and The Arts Today on CBC Radio. In 1989 she published Painters , a biography of Canadian artists written for children. She is currently an arts columnist for The Globe and Mail . Zusammenfassung Marie Prévost 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.
