The same tangle of lovers and secrets in prewar Alexandria, a woman's many affairs, a diplomat drawn into espionage, is told four times from four different vantage points, each retelling overturning what came before.

A city becomes a world when one loves one of its inhabitants.
The Alexandria Quartet, Lawrence Durrell
