the map maker's wife, by Robert Whitaker
At first glance, I thought it was a story about husband and wife going through the jungles of the amazon, like a thriller type. no; it isn't its actully quite boring at first, but interesting because it was in the time period when the new world was in fad at the time and when Spain was a world power.
It follows the husband, Jean Godin as he goes to south America, then meets Isabel Godin and then he goes off to prepare a place, after a lot of years, Isabel hasn't heard from Jean, so she goes on to find him and almost dies from starvation.
I liked the book at the end, where it followed Isabel Godin.
if you want to read about her, read: 
as it looks like her story, but can't say its good or bad; because i haven't read it.
