SET SAIL FOR A TROPICAL PARADISE THIS SUMMER

How far do you need to travel to find home?

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…

So light but profound. A rare combination of escapism and excellence. Beautifully performed too. Lovely.

This book came highly recommended and it doesn’t disappoint. Great descriptions that made Tuga come alive. Likeable characters.
I only hope that there is more to follow as didn’t quite feel like the story had finished.

Lovely, easy listen

This was quite sweet. Narrator read v well but the voices were annoying, although it’s not her fault as that’s how they were written.

A little bit of fun
