Justine is the first volume in the Alexandria Quartet, four interlinked novels set in the sensuous, hot environment of Alexandria, Egypt just before World War II.

Within this polyglot setting of richly idiosyncratic characters is wild and intense Justine, wife to the wealthy businessman Nessim. Her emotional and sexual wildness fuels a highly-charged atmosphere which, caught famously by Durrell’s poetic language, made Justine and the three novels that complete the Quartet—Balthazar, Mountolive, and Clea—a critical and a commercial success.
