About this deal

It's been a great many years since I last finished a book I did not like. Quite seriously, I finished this out of spite. Forestry official Mustafa Ozkaya said workers were digging ditches in an effort to slow the fire's progress but eight planes and 50 helicopters would fly on Monday. A husband whom we have literally not heard her say a single bad thing about up to this point. The closest we get is an implied disappointment when he buys her one of the two expensive dresses she was looking at (as a lavish gift he assures her she deserves because she’s the best), and it’s the one she liked second-best. Le gasp. Firefighters on the Canary island of Tenerife are battling a blaze with a 30-mile perimeter. Photograph: Anadolu Agency/Getty Images This became a compelling read in its several final chapters, but the amount of Icelandic volcano history (which all seemed very well researched) was a bit overwhelming and somewhat repetitive. You begin to get impatient for the human drama to start. When it finally does, you can't stop reading. But how many readers will have the patience to sit through all of the earlier science lecture sections?

In Brittany, police on Monday opened a formal investigation after declaring that two fires that have burned through nearly 2,000 hectares of heathland in the Monts d’Arrée area were both “certainly” caused by arson, with ignition points at regular 30-metre intervals.

The first hurdle was the formatting; I admittedly don't read a lot of books that have been translated, so I am not used to this, but the dialogue is not formatted in the 'normal' manner. It all runs in with the text, so I was continually re-reading the same paragraphs multiple times to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Vast swathes of fire-ravaged pine forest must be replanted and managed differently to avoid future blazes fuelled by global heating, French experts have said, as wildfires – several caused by arson – continued to burn across France and Spain.

The current heatwave is being fuelled by hot air from northern Africa and the southern coastal city of Antalya reached 42C (107F) during the weekend and temperatures are expected to reach 47C (116F) this week.

The fire fronts join up creating a "megafire". As a wall of flames bear down on Ruth and Nawra defending their home and the wildlife they care for, conflicting priorities at the fire control centre leave them in peril. After an eight-hundred-year slumber, the volcanoes in Iceland’s most populated region are showing signs of life. Earthquakes dominate the headlines. Echoes of the devastating eruptions in the past stir unease in the people. Album – Classifica settimanale WK 42 (dal 2018-10-12 al 2018-10-18)" (in Italian). Federazione Industria Musicale Italiana .

I’ve seen some people complain about it being too technical, but I think it’s actually the best part of the book – the volcano info sets the stage, weaves into the characters and the identity of Iceland, is overall actually super fascinating, and makes a dauntingly-technical subject quite approachable for the average person, so they can understand the majesty of earth in an engaging fictional setting. Dairy farmers Kath and Duncan return to their farm in the aftermath of the fire while grief and blame threaten to tear the family apart.
