Celeste, Marcel Proust's housekeeper, writes her memoirs after his death. Through the individual chapters, we get to know Proust as a snob and witty companion of the high society of 20th-century Paris. Due to severe asthma attacks, she demands impeccable and confidential behavior from her staff. In this way, the housekeeper learns about many secrets and characters present in his works, and she humorously reveals and caricatures them using Proust's nicknames. The book is a must-read for all those who enjoy reading Proust or are interested in who Marcel Proust was.
