Ultimately it's hard to rate this until I finish the entire body of work. The overall impression is that if you put a million monkeys on a million therapists' couches this is what you'd get.

Continuing where we left off, Marcel's infatuations have leapt from his mother, to Gilberte, and then Albertine. It is the story of a man discovering different kinds of love - maternal, lust, and friendship. With homosexual undertones, Within a Budding Grove further's Proust's sexual awakening and the maturity of his relationships.
