This epic conclusion to Armanno's Romeo trilogy involved an amazing amount of research, which results in a fascinating amount of historical detail about Brisbane from the 1950s onwards. I must admit that Romeo of the Underworld remains my favourite of the three novels but the final pages of The Volcano are a fitting and poignant conclusion to the trilogy overall. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Sweeping from Sicily to Australia, spanning generations and very different worlds, The Volcanois a novel of power, passion and sheer blazing brilliance from one of our most talented and original writers.A fiercely original, beautifully written, multi-layered tour de force of immense power and humanity, The Volcano tells the tumultuous story of Emilio Aquila, a boy driven mad by love for a woman beyond his reach. His passion turns him into an outcast, forced to live away from his village in the labyrinthine caves high on the slopes of Sicily's Mount Etna. His determination to right the wrongs dealt to him turns him into a kidnapper and a gangster and compels him to seek a new life half a world away. But will he be able to escape the shadows of the past? And will Australia ever be more to him than a place of suffering and regret? An incandescent novel of abduction, passion and torment from the fiery heart of Sicily." No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

We first meet him as an unwell old man with a disreputable past. We then get to learn his story. An enjoyable read .probably more so for those familiar with sicily or the 'young' city of brisbane. ( )
