In this dire, forbidding place, a viable community is created under Ramon's guidance and inspired by Alicia's dedication. But they are soon forgotten by a motherland distracted by political upheaval and the first rumblings of World War I. Left to the mercies of nature and one another--falling victim one by one to disease, hunger, lust, despair, and, ultimately, violence--the castaways who remain must find strength in the courage and steadfast resourcefulness of Alicia Arnaud, upon whom their collective survival now depends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on true events, Laura Restrepo's Isle of Passion is a brilliantly rendered and dramatic tale of savage human nature--and one woman's determination to triumph over a harrowing fate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53480364048657,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780060816209.jpg?v=1777546702","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-la-isla-de-la-pasion-by-laura-restrepo","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
