In this episode of Honest Pages, we dive into Isola by Allegra Goodman, a tender, quietly powerful novel about art, ambition, and the fragile ties that connect us. Set between the vibrant world of a summer arts colony and the complexities of everyday life, the story follows a young artist torn between passion and reality, creation and connection. As she navigates first love, mentorship, and the delicate balance of devotion—to her craft and to the people around her—she begins to understand what it truly means to see, and be seen. Can art capture the truth of a life in motion? Tune in as we explore this luminous, deeply human story about growing up, letting go, and finding your voice.
