“Nicholas Boulton is the perfect narrator for the third book in the cherished Alexandria Quartet. And no, you needn't have listened to the others; this novel is a universe unto itself. Boulton fully inhabits the often drunk, always stuffy, plainly ridiculous characters who ran the empire on which a British sun refused to set…This witty tragedy will have you chortling happily until it wrings your heart…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

“Mountolive, who had already found the open sesame of language ready to hand, suddenly began to feel 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.
