In Bitter Lemons, Durrell tells the perceptive, often humorous, story of his experiences on Cyprus between 1953 and 1956-first as a visitor, then as a householder and teacher, and finally as Press Advisor to a government coping with armed rebellion. Here are unforgettable pictures of the sunlit villages and people, the ancient buildings, mountains and sea-and the somber political tragedy that finally engulfed the island.

"Lawrence Durrell's autobiographical story of growing tensions in Cyprus. Cyprus, 1953-1956, Lawrence Durrell, a UK ex-pat living in the country records his memoirs of a time when Turks and Greeks lived side-by-side in a beautiful and laid-back atmosphere. Written during the gradual uprising of Greek Cypriots who wanted union with Greece, Durrell's memories paint a poignant, picturesque and sad picture of the happy realities of a time that now seems hard to imagine, and draws contrasts between his images of a past society and the segregated situation of the country at present"--Publisher's description

Replete with authentic Siclian recipes culled directly from the out of the way island stoves and cafe kitchens that cook them, Sweet Honey, Bitter Lemons presents a travelogue for seasoned travelers, and lovers of all things Italian. At the age of twenty-six Matthew Fort first visited the island of Sicily. He and his brother arrived in 1973 expecting sun, sea and good food, but they were totally unprepared for the lifelong effect of this most extraordinary place. Thirty years later and a bit wiser—but no less hungry—Matthew finally returns. Travelling around the island on his scooter, Monica, he samples exquisite antipasti in rundown villages and delicate pastries in towns tumbling down vertical hillsides, and goes fishing for anchovies underneath a sky scattered with stars. Once again this enigmatic island casts its spell as Matthew rediscovers its beauty, the intensity of its flavors, and finds himself digging into the darkness of Sicily's past as well as some mysteries of his own.

Italian crime writing is replacing that of Scandinavia as the fastest growing in the genre. The huge success of Niccolo Ammaniti, followed by the Gabriele Salvatore film of the same name took the UK by storm. Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalban series (Picador), Carlo Lucarelli's Almost Blue (Vintage) and carte Blanche (Europa) and Massimo Carlotto's The Good-bye Kiss (Europa) are further evidence of this surge. These authors, and others, are represented in this volume, which contains nine gripping and often darkly hilarious stories.
