«Un été de neige et de cendres» is the historical novel by Guinevere Glasfurd, published by Préludes in paperback (448 pages, in French).
In 1815 the eruption of Mount Tambora cools the climate and causes famine and discontent. Dubbed the year without a summer, that period interweaves the fates of Mary Shelley, the painter John Constable, a farmer's daughter and a soldier returning from the Napoleonic wars, all affected by the same catastrophe.
Translated into French by Claire Desserrey; originally published in English as The Year Without Summer. The work was nominated for the Walter Scott Prize and the HWA Gold Crown.
For readers of historical fiction and literary narrative, particularly those who enjoy natural disasters and the nineteenth century.
