A la recherche du temps perdu, tome 6 : Albertine disparue - BookWyrm

Albertine disparue (Albertine Gone) is the title of the sixth volume of Marcel Proust's seven part novel, À la recherche du temps perdu. It is also known as La Fugitive (in French) and The Sweet Cheat Gone (in English).

#AmReading Proust. Just finished book 3, now up for number 4.

At times it was even slower than slow and it's a looong read, but all in all I loved it!
