  1. Siddharth Biswas

    This was my first Proust experience, and I wasn’t disappointed. Silver’s translation made it accessible, and the story is great.

  2. Bhavya Dhanda

    This translation made Proust more approachable. The humor was a welcome surprise!

  3. Maniratnam

    Enjoyed the fresh take, but felt it lost some of Proust’s original nuance. A good entry point, though.

  4. Karishma Kumari

    Not sure about the ‘comedic’ description, but it was easier to read than other translations.

    The wit Silver brought to the translation was brilliant. I found this volume so much more engaging than the others I’ve read.

  6. Rajat Choubey

    Enjoyed the fresh take, but felt it lost some of Proust’s original nuance.

    Silver’s translation made this volume more approachable. The humor was a welcome surprise! Proust can be a bit much, but this was great.

  8. Shriram Santhosh C

    A good translation for modern readers, but I think it sacrifices some depth. Still, an enjoyable experience overall.

  9. Chilaka Alan

    A decent translation, but Proust is still a commitment. This volume had its moments, but it’s not for everyone.

  10. Adithyan S

    Not sure about the ‘comedic’ description, but it was definitely easier to read than other translations I’ve tried. Enjoyable.

  11. Mazhar Abdul Azeez

    I’m not sure about the comedic claim, but this translation is an improvement over previous ones. Still a challenging read.

  12. Himanshu Chodavadiya

    I love the book, it takes back to the old time, really liked the book. Will order other volume soon.

  13. Tannu Rani

    I had mixed feeling about this book, but it was a great book to read for the summer.

  14. S Mizan Ahmed

    I think this translation did a great job making the text more understandable. I will look forward to read more of her work.

  15. Jitendra Ruparam Mali

    A good translation for modern readers, but I think it sacrifices some depth.

  16. Sridhar S

    I appreciated the clarity of this translation, though I missed some of the poetic language of other versions. Worth reading.

  17. Pratik Hebbar

    The wit Silver brought to the translation was amazing. I found this volume so much more engaging.

  18. Anandu Chandran

    Proust is still Proust, even with a new translation. Some parts shone, but others dragged. Still a worthwhile read for lit lovers.

  19. Rishita Bachani

    I’m a Proust newbie, and this translation helped me get into it. Some sections are still heavy going. Overall, pretty good.
