As part of the #readingenvysummerreading challenge to finish series, I finally read book 3 of the Alexandria Quartet by Lawrence Durrell, Mountolive. It follows the parallel story of Justine and Balthazar somewhat from the perspective of David Mountolive, British ambassador to Egypt. But it starts much earlier when he is a young diplomat living in Cairo, when he has a relationship with Leila, Nassim's mother. Ooh, intriguing. ⤵️
I'm hoping to get to Clea before the summer ends 4y
