A charming, funny, poignant collection of twenty-three letters from
Marcel Proust to his upstairs neighbour 102 Boulevard Haussmann, an
elegant address in Paris's eighth arrondissement. Upstairs lives
Madame Williams, with her second husband and her harp. Downstairs
lives Marcel Proust, trying to write In Search of Lost Time, but
all too often distracted by the noise from upstairs. Written by
Proust to Madame Williams between the years 1909 and 1919, this
precious discovery of letters reveals the comings and goings of a
Paris building, as seen through Proust's eyes. You'll read of the
effort required to live peacefully with annoying neighbours; of the
sadness of losing friends in the war; of concerts and music and
writing; and, above all, of a growing, touching friendship between
two lonely souls. 'Delightful. Big news for Proustians' Daily
Telegraph 'If you have suffered from noisy neighbours, you will
sympathize with Marcel Proust' Times Literary Supplement 'A
haunting portrait of a friendship between two people who lived
within earshot of one another, separated only by a few inches of
plaster and floorboard, but who scarcely ever met' New Statesman
General
