Bitter Lemons by Lawrence Durrell
 

Bitter Lemons by Lawrence Durrell is an end of British Empire book, describing the start of the transition in Cyprus towards independence. Bitter Lemons is a classic of its indefinable kind, a mix of biography, travel, politics and memoir that is obviously literary whilst not apparently aspiring to literature. Almost sixty years after its publication, Bitter Lemons still has much to say about Cyprus, its culture and its politics despite the fact the world has since changed.
