### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An intimate portrait of Marcel Proust by his long-time housekeeper
  

*by R***G on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2021*

She obviously adored him and her book reflects it. She served as his housekeeper, cook, messenger, and intimate for the last eight years of Proust's life. She recounts her daily interaction with Proust and describes his reclusive approach to life as his masterpiece was being finished. To her, he was a perfect man although she was married to another. Was she in love with him? She certainly loved him and it shows in her praise of him. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the intimate details of Proust's unusual life and I recommend this book to anyone interested in Proust, his writing, and his time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Essential to Proust devotees
  

*by W***H on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2013*

This is not really a review, but I would like to add a few comments. As others have stated, it is a shame that 50 years went by before Celeste felt the need to tell her story. It is also unfortunate that she did need keep the requested diary. The fact that she was 80 years old should not necessarily be an issue as I have met a few folks that are still very lucid at that age i.e., long-term memory is not the issue that short-term memory is.There are others that have written some things that are not in agreement with Celeste, but she was in a position to know.Marcel was definitely an unusual character, but in my mind not an odd-ball as some suggest:especially considering his chosen line of work.I found myself actually choked up as this book came to an end. I have read over 5,000 pages on or by Marcel Proust in 2013 and it makes me somewhat melancholy for this odyssey to come to an end though I am still looking forward to reading Harold Pinter's screenplay starting tomorrow.If you are a Marcel Proust devotee, it is essential that you read this book. It is informative, enlightening, sometimes comical, enjoyable but ultimately sad.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Interesting and informative slice of Proust's life -- but of course only a slice
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2016*

Celeste is a very simple person but had the privilege of being with Proust for a number of years as his companion/servant.  Her observations are quite interesting about his schedule, the way he wrote (she pasted in the long emendations to his work) and other interesting details. As she was genuinely fond of Proust and writes of him with love, it is at times a touching and fascinating memoir of a simple French woman who came to enjoy serving a genius.
