    #10 - M. Swann, and young Marcel missing the Good Night kiss of his Mother.
    Jan 12 2020

    We are now into the more elaborate parts of Proust's descriptions of early life and people and events in minute detail. Main topics are social class in the aristocratic France of the late 18 hundreds, his family members and their views on people and vanity, and the young boy's very strong attachment to his mother and the fear of missing the good night kiss when his parents have visitors.
