The eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia was cataclysmic with floods, droughts, wildfires, summer snow, as well as civil unrest in the world. Glasfurd uses the stories of six individuals, both real and fictional, to explore this horrific event. It is a grim tale but with moments of light. Glasfurd wants to remind us of the potential climate catastrophe to which we may be heading. Some may not enjoy its episodic nature but I did.
