Reese’s Book Club Pick, national bestseller and finalist for the Kirkus Prize, Isola is a historical novel inspired by the real life of a sixteenth-century heroine. Praised by Jodi Picoult as “a shocking story” rooted in true history, it has also been recognised by TIME, The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, NPR and others as a Best Book of the Year.
Marguerite is heir to a fortune and destined for a life of prosperity and gentility. But after she is orphaned, her guardian, an enigmatic and volatile man, spends her inheritance and insists that she accompany him on an expedition to New France.
Isolated and afraid, Marguerite befriends her guardian’s servant, and the two develop an intense attraction. When their relationship is discovered, they are brutally punished and abandoned on a small island with no hope of rescue.
Once a child of privilege who dressed in gowns and laced pearls in her hair, Marguerite must now survive at the mercy of nature. As the weather turns and the island is blanketed in ice, she discovers a faith she had never before needed.
From the bestselling author of Sam, Isola is an epic story of love, faith, defiance and one woman’s fight for survival.
