The Volcano Lover
ByPublisher Description
A captivating tale of love, obsession, and the fate of nature set against the backdrop of 18th century Naples.
Volcano Lover is an unconventional bestselling historical romance from National Book Award-winning author Susan Sontag. Based on the lives of Sir William Hamilton, his celebrated wife Emma, and Lord Nelson, this novel touches on themes of sex and revolution, art and the collector's obsessions, and above all, love.

With her trademark insight and prose, Sontag delves into the intricacies of human desire and the forces that shape our lives. A thought-provoking blend of history and fiction, Volcano Lover is a must-read for fans of literary and historical novels, feminist literature, and anyone seeking a compelling story of passion and ambition.
