In this absorbing novel, narrated 50 years after the main action by the youngest son, an eccentric geologist decamps for Elba with his family in 1956, convinced that the island's mineral wealth will turn around his own personal fortune. Much transpires. Scott interweaves her wholly fictitious tale of a family in trouble with plenty of detail about Elba and Napoleon's exile.
