Monsieur or The Prince of Darkness

About this book

Shimmering with sensuous ecstasy, dark with terror and mystery, this is the extraordinary novel of a "happy trinity of lovers." The diplomat Piers, his sister Sylvie, and the English doctor Bruce are at the heart of Durrell's new creation, as is the medieval walled city of Avignon. And haunting them all is Monsieur, Prince of Darkness, whose ancient satanic rites still flourish in the modern world.
