    A behind the scenes look at what really happened on Corfu.
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2017*

Years ago, when I was studying for my English O'Level, we studied My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell, and it was hilarious. It was that book which made me aware of Lawrence Durrell and his writing, so that when I saw Monsieur, the first book of the Avignon Quintet out in bookstores I snapped it up, and as you know, that set off my life long love affair with Lawrence Durrell.Anyway, this book takes you behind the scenes of the time the family spent on Corfu. It starts with an overall view of the family and what happened before Corfu, and at the end follows up what happened to them afterwards. I already knew a lot of what's in this book, but that's because I've done lots of reading around Larry, but there were some interesting facts that were illuminating. For example, money wasn't the main reason the family moved to Corfu, it was concern over Mother's drinking - she often took to gin when she was depressed and lonely. As Larry and his wife Nancy had already decided to go to Corfu, it seems they felt it important to keep an eye on her!For those who haven't read much background on the family, you'll find it interesting, and also a little disturbing to find out just how much is fictionalised in a supposed non-fiction account of the family on Corfu. Recommended!

    heavily padded with excerpts from Gerald Durrell's books
  

*by C***L on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2017*

There was a little original material, and some of it was interesting, but about half of it is just excerpts from My Family & Other Animals. If you're buying this book the chances are around 100% that you've already read My Family, and are interested in the real story behind its fictionalized anecdotes.  It's ok, but no more than that. I did appreciate the inclusion of the handwritten story by Gerald from when he was a kid. That bit was great.

    An Amazing Family
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2018*

This book describes the lives of all the individuals of an amazing family.  It traces their life in India and their return to England, the land of their forefathers.  As they matured, the family left England for the serenity of Corfu, where their lives were influenced by a variety of interesting characters who called this island home.  After several years the war began and the family fled Corfu before it was invaded by the Axis powers and the family split up and finally got back together after the war ended.  The epilogue of the book describes the lives and successes of the individual members of the family and their failures and successes for the rest of their lives.  This wasn't just an average family but a very special one which you must read the book to see just why.
