The Year Without Summer: 1816 - One Event, Six Lives, A World Changed

In 1815, Mount Tambora in Indonesia erupted, impacting the weather throughout the world. The Year Without Summer imagines its impact on six separate lives, thousands of miles away. They include a fenland farm labourer, a soldier returning from Waterloo, author Mary Shelley and painter John Constable. Laura McMillan talks to author Guinevere Glasfurd about her ingenious and poetic novel, The Year Without Summer. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
