    Join novelist Francesca Segal as she introduces Island Calling, the latest novel set on the fictional island of Tuga d’Oro, and celebrates the launch of Welcome to Glorious Tuga into paperback. If you've not read Welcome to Glorious Tuga yet then this will be the perfect introduction to the delightful series and for those of you who are already fans, discover what's next for zoologist Charlotte in Island Calling - a funny, moving and hope-filled novel about mothers and daughters and about holding on and letting go.
    About the Glorious Tuga series
    Welcome to glorious Tuga – the world’s most remote island and Charlotte Walker’s new home. Charlotte has swapped her grey life in London for a year in this tropical paradise. Officially, she’s there for conservation but the reality is far more complicated.
    For somewhere on Tuga lies the answer to a truth she’s waited her whole life to learn. If she finds it, then perhaps she might finally find herself too. Enchanting, uplifting and very funny, these captivating novels are about love, belonging, and what it really means to come home.
