Guess Who's Jewish In Literature - Justine!

I just read in the TLS (Times Literary Supplement) on line an article about Lawrence Durrell. The author wrote the novel Justine, main character in that book and others in The Alexandrian Quartet a series of (four linked novels set in cosmopolitan Alexandria, Egypt, telling same story from the viewpoint of different characters).

Justine was based on his friend Eve Cohen, who seems to have been one of him girlfriends or partners because they went to Israel.

Durrell's equally famous author brother wrote My Family And Other Animals, a cute book short and easy reading, about the family in Greece. This brother went on to found the Jersey zoo.
