Translated from French.

But who exactly is this Albertine Simonet (with just one “n”), who shares with Swann the immense honour of being an eponymous character in “In Search of Lost Time”? 🌸🌺

It’s the grand return of the Sunday story… on a Wednesday, for a change! 😅 And we’re going to try to sum up Albertine – an elusive character if ever there was one! 🚵🏻‍♀️

A two-part story, which you can read in full, as usual, in the “Featured Stories” section above! ☝🏻

    A discerning reader has pointed out to me that the model I chose above to talk to you about Albertine – whom some of you seem to think she ‘looks’ exactly like… – is Maude Fealy, an actress from the silent film era. #maudefealy

    Although this novel is sublime, it’s a bit of a struggle to read in the sense that I’ve started it and am dragging my feet over it, and I’m more or less reassured to see that I’m not the only one
