Following on from the success of Combray the first volume in the adaptation of Proust's masterpiece to graphic novel form, Within A Budding Grove finds Proust, now a teenager, on his first separation from his mother, a holiday taken in a high class beach resort in Normandy. Besides the fleeting visions of young girls, he also keenly observes, without acidity but detached amusement, the petty sophistry of the French upper class in its genteel environs, safely removed from the lower ones. "An important social question is to know whether the pane of glass will always protect the feast of the marvellous beasts and if the obscure people peering at them through the night will not come and pick them out of their aquarium and eat them."
