Within a Budding Grove, Part 2 by Marcel Proust

4.0

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.
