<p>Marie Prevost is a contemporary Canadian who sets off for Paris to research Proust and escape a failed romance. Sarah Bensimon is a young Parisian Jew who marries into an orthodox family and takes refuge in her kitchen, recreating a kosher version of classic French cuisine. The third woman is madame Jeanne Proust herself, fragments of whose 'diaries' are recreated with impeccably researched detail - as she worries about Marcel, his late-night habits, his diet and his unsuitable friends. All these strands are brought poignantly together - the new world and the old, the Seine and the St Lawrence, mothers and sons, outsiders and insiders - in this intelligent and beautifully judged debut novel.</p>

The Flowering of Britain

MABERY, RICHARD & EVENS, TONY

The mind-body problems are widely seen as the great remaining challenge to science and philosophy. Why and how did matter evolve to take on the quality of mind? The author takes the reader to the very edges of current knowledge and back to the beginning of time, before "mind" existed, and in doing so constructs a history of consciousness. Nicholas Humphrey's previous books include "Four Minutes to Midnight", "Consciousness Regained" and "The Inner Eye".
