Prospero's Cell by Lawrence Durrell

Originally published: London, England : Faber and Faber, 1945. Includes bibliographical references and index.

Durrell, later a world famous novelist, had it all when he made his escape from a gray, industrialized England to a sunny Greek island: a new wife, colorful new friends, and Corfu's captivating beauty. Then this enchanting idyll abruptly ended with the onset of World War II and evacuation to Egypt.
