About this listen
"I knew that Clea would share everything with me, withholding nothing - not even the look of complicity which women reserve only for their mirrors."
In Clea, the concluding part of the Alexandria Quartet, Darley returns to Alexandria now caught by war-fever. The conflagration has its effect on his circle - on Nessim and Justine, Balthazar and Clea, Mountolive and Pombal - and a clarity of purpose emerges as the story moves toward its cadence.

Satisfying
“Clea” is the weakest of the four Alexandria Quartet novels yet also, by virtue of being the last, rather important to the structure. It tidies up most of the series’ mysteries but Durrell rather gets in the way, determined to focus on intermittently amusing but lengthy reflections from deceased characters or exploring sections of the books’ world that felt less vital than others. Things build satisfactorily in the final chapters, however, but there are far fewer “moments of grace” than in the previous three books.
In spite of this, Nicholas Boulton does very well distinguishing the characters and moods of Alexandria during the War, making this an appealing experience.
