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…

Glorious Tuga

Characters and plot are compelling and develop in unexpected directions. Kristin Atherton’s narration captures the nuances of the characters. My sadness at leaving glorious Tuca is relieved only by knowing that there’s a sequel.
