The novel 'The Solitary of Juan Fernandez, or the Real Robinson Crusoe' by X.-B. Saintine unfolds by introducing us to a Scottish woman named Catherine Felton, known as pretty Kitty, who runs an inn called the Royal Salmon in the town of St. Andrew. The story is set in the early 18th century and follows Catherine's life as she navigates the challenges of being an unmarried woman of means in a society that values marriage and domesticity. Eventually, she meets a sailor named Captain Stradling who proposes marriage to her, and she must decide whether to accept his offer or continue running her inn alone. The novel is a fictionalized version of the true story of Alexander Selkirk, a sailor who was marooned on the island of Juan Fernandez for several years and inspired Daniel Defoe's novel 'Robinson Crusoe'.
