Yes the historical novel is about the eruption of Mt Pelee as well as the other 4 volcanos around the Caribbean Plate that were active that year, and the influence it had on deciding to put the Panama Canal in Panama and not in Nicaragua. I have been studying a lot about volcanoes, and plan to make the book as scientifically accurate as I can.
