Sicilian Carousel: Adventures on an Italian Island

Sicilian Carousel: Adventures on an Italian Island

In Sicily, a travel writer honors the memory of a departed friend

Despite decades spent writing poetic evocations of the timeless pleasures of life in the Mediterranean, Lawrence Durrell had never set foot on the seaâ€™s largest island: mysterious, impenetrable Sicily. For years his friend Martine begged him to visit her on this sun-kissed paradise, and though he always intended to, life inevitably interfered. It took Martineâ€™s sudden death to finally bring him to the islandâ€™s shores.
Â
With Martineâ€™s letters in his pocket, Durrell signs up for a tour group, hoping to learn the travel habits of those who arenâ€™t obsessively devoted to island life. As he treks from sight to sight, dizzy with history and culture, Durrell finds echoes of his past lives in Rhodes, Cyprus, and Corfu.
