This review is from: Monsieur: Or, The Prince of Darkness (The Avignon quintet) (Mass Market Paperback)

As good as anything Durrell wrote in The Alexandria Quartet. Monsieur is the first book in his Avignon Quintet--Livia, Constance, Sebastian, and Quinx are the others. Nearly all of these are out of print and not so easy to find. If you can get them from Amazon it is probably the best way to go. If you like going back in time to other worlds where ghosts and knights and gnostics and drugs all come together in mansions somewhere along the Nile, then this is the book for you.
