Well researched and interesting topic. As a frequent reader of this genre I thought I would find the story more compelling.

Loved the twist and turns and was an unexpected ending.

Durrell writes of the turbulent years of Cyprus as the country fought for its independence. He lived in Cyprus and had many friends in his village but also worked for the British government. He writes very poetically of the country and its inhabitants.

Less compelling than the previous book in the trilogy, though still interested to see where it goes.

I love I love I love and im not a big dark romance but this was good....

I really enjoyed this book. So many twist and turns, just when you think you have it figured out or know the characters you are suddenly left in shock.

This wonderful classic is worth rereading to appreciate the special characters, the authors' beautiful language, and all the extensive details on whales and whaling.

I really liked this book. Suspenseful and thoughtful until the end.

Interesting characters and a quick read.
