An
uplifting, humorous memoir of a mother building a new life on a beautiful

uplifting, humorous memoir of a mother building a new life on a beautiful
Sicilian island.Reeling from
a 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 and
live 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 and
watching Stromboli erupt on the horizon. It is not entirely paradise, however.
The school is atrocious, there are power cuts and an earthquake, and property
speculators threaten the island's fragile beauty. But an eclectic community of
islanders take them to their hearts, friendships are forged and Salina becomes
home.
Full of humanity, vitality, honesty and optimism, Children of the
Volcano is for anyone unwilling to give up dreams of adventure and
excitement simply because of parenthood, lack of money and not getting things
right the first time.
