Madame Proust: A Biography
I really enjoyed this book about Marcel Proust's mother. It told not only the story of her life, it delved deeply into the relationship she had with Marcel. It also compared the real life events and characters with those in A la recherche du temps perdu. There was quite a bit about the Dreyfus affair and the status of Jews in France from the Revolution to the Third Republic. Among the interesting tidbits I learned was that Proust was distantly related to Karl Marx. It's made me want to revisit A la recherche, which I read a couple of years ago. I'd also like to read Bloch-Dano's books about Mme Zola and George Sand.
