talina 's review for:

Bitter Lemons of Cyprus by Lawrence Durrell
2.75
challenging informative slow-paced

I can’t help feeling like this book being described as a travel narrative hurts the overall experience of reading the book. If it had been categorised as literary journalism, historical documentation or even memoir I think my expectations would have been better addressed and I could have gone into it able to appreciate the complexities the book puts forward.
