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…

Eleştirmen yorumları

'A magical novel, so uplifting, heartwarming, funny . . . I cannot TELL you how much I adored it! This feels as if it was written specifically to give comfort – the perfect antidote to current climes'
If you’re looking for a perfect holiday read, this is it
'Sparkling and sophisticated, Welcome To Glorious Tuga is a rare joy. With a cast of complex characters who will restore your belief in humanity, and a tropical setting to escape into, Francesca Segal's novel reminded me of the pleasures to be had in reading. Profound and comic by turns, she has made us an offering of light, and I would recommend every reader take it'
A slice of sunshine in book form!... The descriptions of the island and its community are particularly gorgeous
'WELCOME TO GLORIOUS TUGA is a gorgeous book ... Everything, right down to the fruit, has been brilliantly and thoroughly imagined. I didn't want to go home'
'Perfect for summer . . . Immersive, vibrant and funny'
'If you can imagine a modern-day Jane Austen washed up on a fictional island ... you would get close to the wonder of Francesca Segal's new novel. But you wouldn't capture it completely because Segal has a style and wit all of her own. WELCOME TO GLORIOUS TUGA is warm, clever, thoughtful, funny, moving and brilliantly written. I relished every page and can't wait to press it into everyone's hands'
Stunningly well-written; full of great characters; warm and wise; twisty and dramatic, this is a novel I never wanted to end. I hope desperately for a sequel
'If you’re looking for the perfect holiday read without even going on holiday, just as a much-needed escape from it all, I warmly recommend this beauty . . . Cannot wait for the next volume in the series'
There aren’t enough superlatives for this book… Joyous, sexy, uplifting, funny, fascinating and more
