Summary

Summary

Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award

The magnificent final volume of one of the most widely acclaimed fictional masterpieces of the postwar era

Few books have been awaited as eagerly as Clea, the sensuous and electrically suspenseful novel that resolves the enigmas of the Alexandria Quartet. Some years and one world war was after his bizarre liaisons with Melissa and Justine, the Irish émigré Darley becomes enmeshed with the bisexual artist Clea. That affair not only changes the lovers, it transforms the dead as well, revealing new layers of duplicity and desire, perversity and pathos in Lawrence Durrell’s masterly construction.

Editorial Reviews

“Narrator Nicholas Boulton completes Durrell's Alexandria Quartet. His thrilling new performance isn't merely respectful of this classic work; these characters come to life, as does the environment of WWII-era Alexandria…While the first three titles focus on several perspectives of the same characters, this audiobook focuses on the passage of time…Listeners may find themselves adrift if they start here. Regardless, Boulton finds the humor, pathos, and tragedy in these characters in a performance that feels effortless. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile
