	Media	Author	Review
		Chitra Ramaswamy The Guardian	"Gentle wish-you-were-here fare"
		Johanna Schneller Toronto Star	"It works, because Durrell’s dialogue is sharp and his characters well-drawn. Their brisk honesty isn’t just amusing, it’s often bracing"
		John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"An island of charm"
		Meredith Blake Los Angeles Times	"[Simon Nye's] writing is nimble, witty and irreverent, warm but not remotely sentimental. Not surprisingly, the series is gorgeous to look at"
		Allison Keene Paste Magazine	"One of TV’s brightest gems (...) a soothing, deeply engaging alternative to the sound of fury of so many current dramas"
		Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"If you like this kind of escapist fare — and you know who you are — then I expect you will savor this laidback, elegant entertainment."
