The Alexandria Quartet

I have been thinking about the girl I met last night in the mirror... In the shimmering Egyptian city of Alexandria, an impoverished schoolteacher reconciles himself to the end of his affair with the magnetic Justine - but this is just the beginning. As the Second World War erupts, an unforgettable cast of characters find themselves entwined in a complex web of relationships that will transform their lives forever.

Exploring not only the nature of identity, love, truth, time and death but the essence of storytelling itself, Lawrence Durrell's epic fictional experiment exploded onto the literary scene in 1957 - and the magic of The Alexandria Quartet intoxicates to this day.
