This was amazing, poetry as prose.  I love the way Durrell writes and you fall in love with Alexandria.

Hated this book but had to read it for school.  Found it to be too complicated at the time but now I can appreciate it from a literary perspective.

Lawrence Durrell is the most amazingly graceful writer, even when he is writing about the most sordid matters.

This book is perfect. Durrell has the power to transcribe the intimacy between lovers and friends with origanility and detail.

This quartet uses brilliant writing technique to examine various love triangles among a group of friends in Alexandria, Egypt.  Spicy but justifiable because it is so well written!
