The Friday Book Group will meet on the second floor of the library on Friday, July 25 at 2:00 p.m. (note date change) to discuss Isola by Allegra Goodman.
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. Inspired by the real life of a sixteenth-century heroine, Isola is the timeless story of a woman fighting for survival.
