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.
