Synopsis

The lure of recently discovered gold-fields drew them all—Donna and her wise mother; Keith; the lovely Baroness Sonia Sarichef; and later Joe Baxter and an American doctor—to the vast jungles of Indo-China, where safe travel depended on the superstitious fears of strange men speaking a strange language. Mr. Marshall writes a moving story of the mounting passions of two men and two women set against the grandeur and terror of the unknown tropical forests. Surrounded by danger and oppressed by the fear of disease, their finest instincts win in the end—destiny or Kismet, call it what you will, leads them back to happiness.

    Description:
    Josie Yarrow was first in her class, the perfect daughter, the heiress everyone admired. She was also being beaten with a switch every time her grades slipped, and seated every day beside the half-sister who was living proof of her father's betrayal.
    
    The night she hid behind a wall to smoke her first cigarette, the worst boy in school found her and laughed. If you don't know how to inhale, don't bother.
    
    Silas Quinn had nothing — no parents, no future, a secret he'd carried since he was thirteen. What he had was a school jacket he didn't need and a wall he could get her over.
    
    Seven years later, his name comes across her desk on an application for a security guard position.
    
    He doesn't dare look up at her. He has no idea she recognized him instantly.

    What do you do when you fall in love with a man who is still in love with his dead wife? That is the dilemma facing Alice, a young teacher from England who, searching for her Italian roots, goes to live in a small village in Sicily with her grandmother's sister and her husband, helping with their smallholding in the shadow of the menacing Mount Etna.
    
    She becomes a very popular teacher at the local junior school in Catania and is drawn to one of her young pupils, the effervescent Rosie, and her father, Lorenzo, a volcanologist and part of the mountain rescue team on Mount Etna, whose wife died several years previously in a tragic accident. Through Rosie and her father she meets and becomes close to their friends Elizabetta and Antonio and their children, the serious Elena and the mischievous Tommaso.
    
    She falls deeply in love with Lorenzo, but despite her best efforts and those of the incorrigible Rosie and her friend Elizabetta, it seems her love is destined to be unrequited. Instead, she busies herself with her teaching, the daily happenings of the village and learning as much as she can about the traditions and history of this fascinating island with its turbulent history.
    
    Then, when at last he unexpectedly proposes, she refuses him. Has she made the worst mistake of her life or will everything turn out for the best in the end? And can they escape the ever-present danger of the volcano which threatens to overwhelm them all?
