À propos de cet audio
REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • “A shocking story, made all the more stunning by the fact that it has its roots in true history.”—Jodi Picoult, author of By Any Other Name
“A new generation of survival story . . . an extraordinary book that reads like a thriller, written with the care of the most delicate psychological and historical fiction.”—Vogue (Best of 2025 Preview)
A young woman and her lover are marooned on an island in this “lushly painted” (People) historical epic of love, faith, and defiance from the bestselling author of Sam.
Heir to a fortune, Marguerite is destined for a life of prosperity and gentility. Then she is orphaned, and her guardian—an enigmatic and volatile man—spends her inheritance and insists she accompany him on an expedition to New France. That journey takes a unexpected turn when Marguerite, accused of betrayal, is brutally punished and abandoned on a small island.
Once a child of privilege who dressed in gowns and laced pearls in her hair, Marguerite finds herself at the mercy of nature. As the weather turns, blanketing the island in ice, she discovers a faith she’d never before needed.
Inspired by the real life of a sixteenth-century heroine, Isola is the timeless story of a woman fighting for survival.

Histoire
Beth and her gentle, kind husband Frank are happily married, but their relationship relies on the past staying buried. But when Beth’s brother-in-law shoots a dog going after their sheep, Beth doesn’t realize that the gunshot will alter the course of their lives. For the dog belonged to none other than Gabriel Wolfe, the man Beth loved as a teenager—the man who broke her heart years ago. Gabriel has returned to the village with his young son Leo, a boy who reminds Beth very much of her own son, who died in a tragic accident.

Histoire
It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She's immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself.

Washington, DC, 1950. Everyone keeps to themselves at Briarwood House, a down-at-the-heels all-female boardinghouse in the heart of the nation’s capital where secrets hide behind white picket fences. But when the lovely, mysterious widow Grace March moves into the attic room, she draws her oddball collection of neighbors into unlikely friendship.

“Lushly painted . . . a perfect read for cozying up by a roaring fire—and feeling thankful you’re not the sixteenth-century heroine the story is based on.”—People, “Most Anticipated Books of 2025”
“Allegra Goodman’s latest novel is a feminist castaway tale about love, faith, and self-actualization.”—Time, “Most Anticipated Books of 2025”
“Blazing action on each page—Marguerite’s shrewd deploying of tactics for her own salvation—reminds readers to place our money on the power of human female ingenuity.”—The Washington Post

Compelling but just too long
The story and contents were rich with detail, but I felt the book just too long, given how the timeline unfolded.
Bravo to the author for her research and detail. I had six hours of the story left and I wasn’t going to abandon the several hours I had already listened to. It seems this is based on a true account from history, otherwise I would be very annoyed. I invested this much time in this book.

Awesome story of one pilgrim’s journey
As a Canadian, I often wonder about the first settlers who came to this wild land in the 1500s. I wonder about the things they saw, how they lived, how they survived. This story tells one of those true stories, not about a man but a woman. Wow. At the time, a high borne female pilgrim from France crossing the ocean would have been a rarity indeed, but being taken to the new world against your will, would have been another thing entirely. This book grabbed me right from the start and wouldn’t let me go. It is a must read.

Amazing!!
Truly one of the best books and best narrative performances I have ever had. Exciting, heart wrenching and real. if you love period literature with strong but real women characters, this one is not to be missed!
I will look for other works both from this author and narrator.

Incredible story of resilience
I enjoyed listening to this incredible story of resilience of a noble woman, Marguerite abandoned in Canada. I was hooked listening to this story right from the start and what made it more fascinating was that it was based on a true story. I highly recommend it.

Better than 2003 "Elle, a Novel" version
The previous book I read in 2003 was distracting because of silliness (marooned because of accident with Captains dog! ), excess weird dream sequences, and attempts to shock with sex. This wonderful retelling is ultimately a survival story with an evolving, likeable heroine who gains strength with age and adversity. Along the way, there are insights into 16th century society, good/evil of religion, realities of the male adventurers who perhaps were not so heroic as we were taught, etc. Even though I knew how things turned out, the imagined details are suspenseful although difficult at times as you cannot help but care about this person who lived centuries ago. It was a thought provoking read that I will never forget.

Strong women come from kind & caring souls.
The women of nobility that are kind and caring of others, no matter their station are strong and intelligent. This story was enchanting and inspiring to be such a woman. The historical story of such a woman is well worth reading.
