Description :

A young woman and her lover are stranded on an island in this epic tale of love, faith, and defiance, penned by the bestselling author of 'Sam'. Born into wealth, Marguerite is meant for a life of luxury, but fate has other plans. Orphaned, she's taken in by a mysterious, volatile guardian who squanders her fortune and forces her to join him on a journey to New France. Isolated and frightened, Marguerite forms a deep bond with her guardian's servant, and their attraction grows. However, when their relationship is discovered, they're cruelly punished and left on a tiny island with no hope of rescue. Once a woman of privilege, Marguerite now faces the harsh realities of nature. As the weather worsens, she finds a faith she never knew she had. Inspired by the true story of a sixteenth-century heroine, 'Isola' is the timeless account of a woman battling to survive.
