What did she feel as she gave birth alone on an uninhabited island and watched her child die?

What did she think about Roberval during those years?

What happened to her relationship with the Catholic faith that sustained her — did the ordeal deepen it, shake it, or leave it fundamentally unchanged?

What did she do with the years of her life after she returned to France?

Did she ever marry?

Did she ever encounter Roberval again?

Did she have any sense of how widely her story was circulating in the literary world she could no longer access?

None of these questions can be answered.
