Within a Budding Grove (In Search of Lost Time)
by Marcel Proust

Following Swann's Way, Within a Budding Grove is the second volume of Proust's masterpiece, À la recherche du temps perdu. When it was first published in 1919, Within a Budding Grove was awarded the Prix Goncourt, bringing the author immediate fame. In this volume, the reminiscences of the narrator of Swann's Way move from childhood to adolescence. Having gradually become indifferent to Swann's daughter, Gilberte, the narrator visits the seaside resort of Balbec with his grandmother and meets a new object of attention--Albertine, "a girl with brilliant, laughing eyes and plump, matt cheeks."
