The Times 2 hailed this novel as "a delight" and the Manchester Guardian 3 as "masterly". But Durrell is far indeed from writing a plain hand. Richard Mayne, 4 in the Sunday Times , declares: "His prose beguiles us with marvels of virtuosity." And even Pamela ...

Around this time Henry Nevinson, author and journalist, who had come out to India as a special correspondent of the Manchester Guardian of London, met Sri Aurobindo for an interview.
