(from inside cover) This is the first of the "Alexandria Quartet" series. "Mr. Durell is more than a novelist, he is a writer; I think that in 'Justine' he has found a form, a blend of imagination and memory, of analysis and dream, poetry and prose, which enables him, in the sun of Alexandria and the shade of Kavafy, to come into his own. He studs his tale with impeccable amd disturbing vignettes of his beloved city and he writes with a continuous chain-reacting intensity of landscape and love.
(Cyril Connolly, Sunday Times)
