Save:Isola by Allegra Goodman is a beautifully woven historical fiction novel that follows the life of Marguerite de la Rocque, a young noblewoman in 16th century France. After losing her parents, Marguerite is taken advantage of by her guardian, who forces her on a voyage to the future eastern Canada.

It showcases Marguerite's growth from a stifled upper-class girl to a determined woman forging her own path.
