Clea is the fourth and final volume in the Alexandria Quartet. Durrell’s ravishing prose, and the palpable presence of Alexandria itself, give the fictional mélange of romance, espionage, eroticism, and melodrama—there are enough twists and turns of plot to fuel a decade of daily soap operas—an organic intensity that is riveting and beautiful. Written by Durrell at a breakneck pace, the four novels are best read with the same fevered energy.
