Through My Lens
The story of the eruption of the Soufriere Hills Volcano as told by its videographer
“Through My Lens” is compulsory literature for anyone with a Montserrat connection, an interest in volcanos or simply as a fascinating read. Written by David Lea, it complements perfectly his excellent video series, “The Price of Paradise,” which has received global coverage. David provides a unique step-by-step, from its beginning and all through its persistent activity. It includes individual recollections of resilient Monsterratians showing both their sense of humour as well as the pain they suffered from such a massive natural disaster.
After reading this account, adventure-tourists will find it hard to avoid a visit to Montserrat.”
Tony Abbott CMG OBE
Governor of Montserrat 1997-2001
“My prayer is that, in the years to come, this book and the video images that led to its writing, will be well-used resources for those interested in understanding at least some of what the people of Montserrat have experienced throughout this volcano crisis.”
