{"product_id":"under-the-volcano-jonathan-power-9783838221373","title":"Under the Volcano: A Tale of a Marriage, a Journalist and an Island","description":"The book tells the fascinating story of a family deciding to exit the demands of life in northern Europe and head for a sub-tropical life on an Atlantic island. A planned one-year stay expands into three years, but ends with a debilitating tug of war between husband and wife about whether to return north or not. The story which began so beautifully grinds to a sad end. The place they had ended up living was in a ramshackle house, covered in bougainvillea in a tiny, unspoilt village with no tourists since there was no beach. (However, unbeknown to outsiders, down a steep run of steps was an amazing large rock pool that had breathlessly clear water and only a couple of other swimmers.) When not swimming or doing up the house, the couple worked--in Jeany's case at her opera concerts and in Jonathan's case writing a history of Amnesty International, which Penguin had commissioned. Their eight-year old daughter, Jenny, went to the local village school. She spoke no Spanish but within three months she was fluent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Power\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3838221370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783838221373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ibidem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jonathan Power","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623661482239,"sku":"9783838221373","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc7e5a7a-074d-4682-9174-d809a1336e27.jpg?v=1780433777","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/under-the-volcano-jonathan-power-9783838221373","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
