'Joyous... A modern-day Jane Austen meets The Durrells' ELIZABETH DAY
'One to hoard like a squirrel's nut for the cold, dark days of winter' IRISH TIMES
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 crossed the world to research rare tortoises on the remote island of Tuga.
Officially, she's there for conservation. But the reality is more complicated, for Charlotte has long believed she has a connection to this isolated paradise. While coming to understand an endangered species, she'd hoped she might finally understand the truth about herself.
She'll have little time for self-discovery, however. The close-knit community has never had a vet before, and the islanders are determined to tempt her from her tortoises and onto their farms.
Can she salvage her career (and the catastrophe of her personal life) before her year on the island is up?
'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

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.'
