The acclaimed first novel of the Alexandria Quartet, and the celebrated story of an all-consuming love transcending time and place Set in Alexandria, Egypt, in the years between World Wars I and II, Justine is the first installment in the distinguished Alexandria Quartet.

The result is a matchless work that confronts all we understand and believe about sexual desire, identity, place, and the certainty of time.
