Bitter Lemons

London: Faber and Faber, 1982 On the back cover: 'He writes as an artist, as well as a poet; he remembers colour and landscape and the nuances of peasant conversation . eschewing politics, it says more about them than all our leading articles . in describing a political tragedy, it often has great poetic beauty.' Kingsley Martin in the New Statesman. 'Mr Durrell possesses exceptional qualifications. He speaks Greek fluently; he has a wide knowledge of modern Greek history, politics and literature; he has lived in continental Greece and has spent many years in other Greek islands. . Mr Durrell's account of the calamity is revelatory, moving and restrained. It is written in the sensitive and muscular prose: of which he is so consum mate a master.' Harold Nicolson in the Observer. 'Both a controversial and a highly topical book. It is also one of the most evocative accounts of a lovely land scape and its perplexing but likeable inhabitants that I have read for several years.'
