Product Description -
Anuplifting, humorous memoir of a mother building a new life on a beautifulSicilian island. Reeling froma broken relationship, Ros Belford decides the best chance she has of healing,while giving her daughters a childhood to remember, is to move to Italy andlive by the sea. After a false start in a town where machismo is ingrained, they find the small,lush, delightful island of Salina. Izzy and Juno grow up playing on the beach,learning to swim over volcanic bubbles, hearing tales of Aeolian witches andwatching Stromboli erupt on the horizon. It is not entirely paradise, however. The school is atrocious, there are power cuts and an earthquake, and propertyspeculators threaten the island’s fragile beauty. But an eclectic community ofislanders take them to their hearts, friendships are forged and Salina becomeshome. Full of humanity, vitality, honesty and optimism, Children of theVolcano is for anyone unwilling to give up dreams of adventure andexcitement simply because of parenthood, lack of money and not getting thingsright the first time. ‘Immensely enjoyable.’ - Chris Stewart, author of Driving OverLemons ‘Thank you, Ros Belford! This delightful memoir hasbrought back to me the wonder, the excitement and the challenges that comewith embracing a new life in Sicily.’ - Mary Taylor Simeti, author of OnPersephone’s Island
