Note:They say Lßon Delafosse will be Frances next great pianist. But despite his being the youngest student ever accepted into the prestigious Paris Conservatory, theres no way an impoverished musician can make his way in 1890s Paris without an outside patron. Young gossip columnist Marcel Proust takes Lßon under his wing, and the boys game their way through an extravagant new world. When the larger-than-life Count Robert de Montesquiou-Fßzensac offers his patronage, Lßons dreams are made real. But the closer he gets to becoming Frances next great thing, the further he strays from his old country life he shared with his family and his best friend Fßlix . . . a boy he might love.
