Description

Provence, where Lawrence Durrell lived for thirty years, is the motif of this final work, published just before his death.

It is a highly personal and unusual book, part travelogue, part writer's notebook, part autobiography.

It preserves memories from his intimate experience of the Midi, and scattered through the evocative text are nineteen poems inspired by the genius of the place. 'A richly characteristic bouillabaisse by our last great garlicky master of the vanishing Mediterranean, our old Prospero of the south; poet, travel writer, novelist and fumiste . . .' Richard Holmes, The Times
