This is the 1st book in the author's Alexandria quartet, the 2nd of which is Balthazar, the 3d, Mountolive, and the 4th, Clea.
This book is part of the four linked novels that comprise The Alexandria Quartet, set in Alexandria, Egypt, around the time of WWII. They explore the sexual and political intrigues of a group of expatriates in Egypt, telling essentially the same story from different points of view. Justine focuses on the beautiful Jewish wife of a wealthy Copt. Her story is narrated by the unnamed Darley, her Irish lover.
