The taste of a small cake dipped in tea opens a man's entire past, and across seven volumes he relives love, jealousy, salons and loss until he finds his life's work: the book you are reading.

No sooner had the warm liquid, and the crumbs with it, touched my palate than a shudder ran through my whole body.
In Search of Lost Time, Marcel Proust
