With the open sesame of language ready to hand, he suddenly began to find himself really penetrating a foreign country.

In Mountolive, the third volume in Durrell’s Alexandria Quartet, the events surrounding the interwoven community of Nessim, Justine, Narouz, Pursewarden, and the other major characters are given a very different perspective. The intrigues and complex relationships are seen through the political prism of a world plunging towards war.

David Mountolive, once emotionally involved with Nessim’s set, now returns to Egypt as the British ambassador.
