Swann's Way is the first of seven books that make up his masterpiece Remembrance of Things Past.

It begins with the narrator biting into a madeleine cake dipped in tea that sends his mind elsewhere as memories of childhood come flooding back.

In particular he's thinking of Charles Swann, a family friend from days gone by who fell for a woman called Odette... and so the river of teasing allusions, sensual impressions, elegant ironies, lovingly evoked descriptions, subtle and witty digressions and penetrating insights into the characters (along with a series of clinical character assassinations) begins to flow... let it all wash over you and you will be amazed.
