Memoir of Lawrence Durrell's living in Cyprus and the politics of Cyprus v Greece during that time, 1953-1956. The intro says it's not a political book...
Beautiful descriptions of the land and it's people and of a political unrest and nationalism that began to grow during that time. Very interesting and beautifully written.

I've also read Lawrence Durrell's "Alexandria Quartet" a series of four novels set in Alexandria, Egypt during the 1940s. Each novel is the same story from the viewpoint of a different protagonist.
