The Volcano Lover by Susan Sontag

3.0

The story of a romance between vulcanologist Sir William Hamilton and his wives Catherine and Emma (Emma also strikes up a romance with Lord Nelson). Since Sontag does not often refer to her characters by name, though, the names eventually cease to matter. The prose is absorbing, though pretty thick in places. Nice pieces of meditation on one's role in life, especially as the characters encounter the French Revolution, and their world begins to fall apart.
