About this product
Product Information
'Mr Durrell has written about a dozen real love stories, entwined them, explored them with a truly Proustian ferocity and set them all against the marvellous background of Alexandria in the late 'thirties and early 'forties. He is a romantic by temperament, dazzlingly exuberant in style and vision, reckless in ambition, wonderfully prolific in invention.The writing is nearly always superb, not only in the great passages of poetical description but also in the asides, the casual wit and brilliance of comment.'

Lyrically evocative
These are books that I’ve intended to read for a very long time. This purchase was made to replace an older cover-damaged copy which I recently started to read. For that reason I can’t give more than a cursory impression Durrell’s writing is lyrical and evocative of place, emotions, time and memory. He is a joy to read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
