The Causeway

Jim Pinnells

This gripping historical fiction follows the life of a Scottish teenager, Marion as she attempts to escape from the terrible suffering she experiences at a convent on the island of Ischia. Unlike many historical romance novels, this story confronts the reality of religious barbarity, revolutionary violence and the frustration endured by women seeking to determine their own destiny.
