Description

Islands Book Trust. 47 pages. Paperback.

In 1880, this daring woman, who had never left her native island and spoke no English at the time, defied all odds to reunite with her husband in the untamed Canadian wilderness.

“All those who knew where I was going, and the difficulties I would have to surmount… did all in their power to dissuade me from my desperate undertaking.”

Join Isabella on this captivating adventure, where every page brings you closer to the heart of a remarkable woman and her incredible journey into the unknown. Her story appears in Gaelic for the first time in this bilingual book.
