READERS ADORE WELCOME TO GLORIOUS TUGA

'A glorious escape from reality'
'You can feel the sand and taste the coconut water'
'Full of romance, intrigue and friendships'
'Blue sea; small island; paradise. Sign me up!'
'Deserves to be in everyone's suitcase this summer'

Zoologist Charlotte Walker has taken up a year-long fellowship on the tiny, remote island of Tuga de Oro to study the endangered gold coin tortoises in the jungle interior.

She is warmly embraced by the tight-knit community of islanders - and their animals - who are keen to adopt Charlotte as Tuga's first vet.

But Charlotte has a family secret that connects her to the island. She is determined to solve the mystery: she just needs to make sure she stays focused on her research, and absolutely does not fall in love with the first man she meets...

'A much-needed escape, I warmly recommend this beauty' NIGELLA LAWSON
'A magical novel, so uplifting, heartwarming, funny' MARIAN KEYES
'Brilliantly and thoroughly imagined. I didn't want to go home' NICK HORNBY
'Sparkling and sophisticated' JESSIE BURTON
Autorenporträt
Francesca Segal is an award-winning writer and journalist. She is the author of two critically acclaimed novels, The Innocents (2012) and The Awkward Age (2017), and a memoir of NICU motherhood, Mother Ship (2019). Her writing has won the 2012 Costa First Novel Award, a Betty Trask Award, and been longlisted for the Women's Prize. Segal says: 'Writing this novel was a deliberate reaching out for joy. The world can feel very bleak, and bringing Tuga to life became my own magical portal to wide beaches, crystal seas, endless sunshine, and most vitally, to a warm, eccentric community of good people mostly just trying to do their best. Tuga de Oro was a refuge for its first settlers, and I hope will offer refuge for readers, too.'
