Montserratis a fictional narrative about dreams, desires, danger, and Nature's absolute fury. Bob Fronheiser is unhappy. Despondent with life, his job, his son, and his failing marriage, he's ready for a transformation. While cruising the Caribbean, he catches the "tropical bug"! Deciding to buy a hotel, he encounters Rich Schmidt, a shady eccentric with larceny in his heart. Bob and Schmitty stumble onto Montserrat, a sleepy, volcanic, Caribbean island, replete with earthquakes and pyroclastic flows. Bob befriends Anne Cox, the alluring owner of the Flora y Fauna Inn. Enter Si Pepp, a profane and bitter financier with his own brand of causticity. Bob buys the Shamrock Resort, a run-down hotel, in total disrepair from years of neglect. Meantime, back in the states, Bob's family falls farther into the abyss, and Jack his son becomes a test of wills. The adventure begins. The opinion of the island's inhabitants was that "It can't happen here," and life went on peacefully until an early December's evening. The stories crescendo when the Soufri¨re confronts the characters and forever changes their lives. Montserrat is a fictional story loosely based on the devastation and peril of a major volcanic eruption.

Disagree with SME Review!!,
By Mary "Mary" (Whitehall, Pa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Montserrat (Paperback)
After reading this book and looking at the reviews listed I strongly disagree with the SME review.
First of all, it's fiction and if you read the book desription before you buy it, there is absolutely no reason to be disappointed! The author describes exactly what you can expect in this story!! I am an avid reader of fiction novels and did not take any offense to either the characters or the language. I am delighted with how very true to form and real they are.The story is one of despair at times, but also triumph. Ann is a strong and likable character who guides Bob through his demons. I have passed this book along to a friend who also liked it.
