Summary
The Black Mountain is a Quick Read short story from best-selling author Kate Mosse.
It is May 1706. Ana, a young Spanish woman, lives in a small town on the north-west coast of Tenerife with her mother and twin younger brothers. The town is in the shadow of a mighty volcano, which legend says has the devil living inside it. However, there has been no eruption for thousands of years, and no one believes it is a threat.
One day, Ana notices that the air feels strange and heavy, that the birds have stopped singing. Tending the family vineyard, a sudden strange tremor in the earth frightens her. Very soon, it will be a race against time for Ana to help persuade the town that they are in danger and should flee before the volcano erupts and destroys their world. Will they listen? And Ana herself faces another danger....

Another great tale from Kate Mosse.
I have always loved Kate Mosse's books and this tale is no exception. This is the sad tale of Ana, set in 1706, and her desperate pleas to make herself heard and listened to over the rich and corrupt men of her little town. Her father has already been murdered by these officials for trying to warn of an impending tragedy. Now they are trying to silence her!

Good sense of place and time.
I’m afraid the performance was disappointing. It sounded like she was reading each passage for first time. The story was fine if a little predictable.
