About this listen

The Durrell family returns to the island of Corfu, continuing the story begun in My Family and Other Animals. Already an ardent naturalist at the age of 10, the young Gerald lives in an unconventional and disordered household with his mother, sister, and two brothers. Convivial and open, the family plays host to a constant stream of quirky guests. But for Gerald, the main attraction is the wildlife of Corfu.

. . . I preferred the TV series. Out of the hundreds of books I’ve read and listened to I don’t think I’ve said that before. Still a positive review from me though.

Enjoyable but . . .
