Set in the sensual city of Alexandria just before (and eventually during) World War II, Durrell’s tale of love, duplicity, and the vagaries of desire begins as an exiled Irish schoolteacher named Darley seeks to unravel his obsessions with two women, both now lost to him. Each volume revisits the events that haunt Darley’s memory, approaching them from a different perspective while adding new characters and incidents that turn the story inside out. Along the way, the story and the storytelling get richer and more complicated, and the motives, actions, and destinies of the extensive cast of lovers are entangled and unwound in an intricately choreographed passage through time.
