Isola by Allegra Goodman is based in the history of Marguerite de La Rocque, who lived in the 1500s. The tells a compelling story of a young woman's fight for survival and of her evolution from a pampered child to a strong survivor. I feel for the young, orphaned child and cheer for the woman who faces her dire circumstances and survives. Based on the fiction, I learn a history I might never otherwise have encountered.
