Island Calling
Description
*** Preorder the brilliant second novel in the Glorious Tuga series, from Costa Prize-winning author, Francesca Segal ***
The island of Tuga has closed for the stormy season, and Charlotte's caseload of pregnant cows and unwell iguanas has only increased. Like James Herriot before her (but with far better weather, and many more unexpected tropical pests), she has come to savour the rich pleasures of veterinary work, as well as the joys of a unique community that has taken her to its heart. As she grapples with her shocking new knowledge about her father, she also starts to realise that her love affair with Levi may be more serious than she thought -- and her temporary role on the island is put into question.
There is trouble elsewhere in Lemon Tree Valley- Marianne's daughter Annie is refusing to forgive her for sending Annie's best friend to school in England; six-year-old Rebecca struggles when her mother Maia goes to work abroad. Then a hurricane in the form of Charlotte's mother sweeps uninvited onto the island- Lucinda Compton-Neville has travelled halfway around the world to insist Charlotte come to her senses and return home. But what is home and what is the true meaning of family? With Santa Esterica, the Tugan festival of mothers and daughters, approaching, it would seem that the women on Tuga are suddenly all at sea...
