About her first novel ‘Sakola’ Isabelle said: “I have always had stories and poems floating in my head. However, I had no ambition of becoming a writer and possess no publishing background. Bizarrely the story of ‘Sakola’ is one that landed on my lap, captivated my imagination and demanded my attention. Sakola simmered in my guts for a number of years until I gathered enough courage to put it to paper. It is a burden or a gift - depending on the reader’s perception - that I carry which I consider would be of no value beyond the grave, therefore has to be shared on this side of eternity.”
