Summary
Featuring a fictional version of himself - 'Marcel' - and a host of friends, acquaintances, and lovers, In Search of Lost Time is Proust's search for the key to the mysteries of memory, time, and consciousness. As he recalls his childhood days, the sad affair of Charles Swann and Odette de Crecy, his transition to manhood, the tortures of love and the ravages of war, he realises that the simplest of discoveries can lead to astonishing possibilities.

Excellent Introduction to Proust
I have been meaning to read 'In Search of Lost Time' for ages and as with many readers, its sheer size put me off. This then is the perfect introduction to Proust. Weighing in a just over five hours it is a relative sprint compared to the full marathon. Yes, something will have been lost in the editing but on the other hand, much is gained in the dramatisation. Made a few car journeys much more enjoyable.

BBC does Proust proud
An enchanting journey into Proust's greatest work, with the BBC's typical attention to sound quality. A difficult work is made approachable and mesmerising. Recommended to be listened to in the highest quality possible. It's a little like falling into someone else's mind.

Wonderful
Any additional comments?
I have wanted to read Proust for a while now, but was always a little daunted so opted for this wonderful BBC production and loved it. I now feel ready to start all the seven original/unabridged novels. Highly recommended.

Just a pity it's dramatised.
Some really powerful thoughts about self space and time...but would rather have a straight reading of the book

A wonderful dramatization
What an amazing cast to dramatize these poingiant stories. So many people causing their own downfall, sad to listen to, but often true.

Good Performance of Unusual Story
A masterpiece of literature well worth a listen. Well produced and acted, beautifully narrated by actor James Wilby. Took me two listens to fully appreciate this as it is an unusual production, but glad I stuck with it. Made me want to look further into Proust.

Excellent
A beautiful production. Would serve equally well as an introductory overview or a poignant reminder.
