I was reading this book from quite some time, and it actually reminded my of a lot of concepts from Geography classes.
The book is about a volcanic eruption that happened in 19th century and it's after affects were felt over the time. Extreme weather (snow, rain, and heat) was recorded around the world after this eruption.
The book draws a lot of instances from literature, paintings, and travelogues. I'm not really sure if these are the best sources to conclude upon but you ended up in believing it to be true. Shelly actually shows up a lot and seems to the favourite of William.
A term which is used very frequently and stays with you for a long time is "year without a summer".
There are anecdotes about weather change across Europe, Asia, US and beyond.
I really couldn't believe that the changed weather conditions actually pushed Chinese people to grow opium rather than rice. I think that was more about the choices people made in terms of earning most money. As the consequence they ended up exporting a lot of rice from the neighbouring countries and regions.
Any ways if the mystery and such narrations entice you than you can go ahead. Others may find the details a bit boring.
