About this listen

 Lawrence Durrell's evocative memoir of living in Cyprus, just before the Greek/Turkish partition. This is a touching and atmospheric account of a place, now changed, where the two races lived side by side.©1994 CSA Telltapes Ltd. (P)1994 CSA Telltapes Ltd.

Exquisitely beautiful storytelling.

Lawrence Durrell writes with such vividness I could clearly imagine the people and places he describes. His affection for the Cypriots and the beautiful descriptions of the countryside, towns and villages makes the tragedy of the story all the more poignant. Highly recommended.

Vivid, affectionate and poignant

A nice story and evidence of Turks and Greeks living amongst each other in harmony before Greece’s agenda and Turkey’s intervention to protect its people.

Good listen overall can do with being a bit louder on sound.

Once upon a time in Cyprus…
