Summary
"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.

Captivating
I have ways found The Alexandria Quartet captivating, even though I am not at all the literary type, and I must admit that I sometimes skip quickly over come of the long ramblings about Art. But the kaleidoscopic quality of the novel is fascinating - the way things known keep showing up in new configurations and turning out to be something completely different then one thought them to be. I am so glad that to see the four parts in an unabridged version - except … why, oh why have they amputated Clea? Why may we not have the final chapter? And the workpoints - hinting as they do at new turnings of the kaleidoscope on and on into the distance? I really feel this as a mutilation. And the narrator - OK, he is American, but not too blatantly so, In fact I think he does it really well - and I rejoice in the fact that he is able to pronounce the French 'rue' correctly, a thing then no English narrator seems able to do.

Brilliantly written conclusion to the quartet and a subtle sensitive performance by the voice actor - superb
I have really enjoyed all four books in the Alexandria quarter and have previously said how wonderfully evocative of a sensuous sumptuous lost world Durrell’s writing is. The narrator is really excellent. He gives Darley a slight Irish brogue (perhaps the the actor’s real voice but it is perfect) and the other characters all have ‘voices’ which aid the listening without being at all ‘hammy.’
I loved all four novels but I think Clea stands out.
