Welcome to glorious Tuga

£9.99

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?

Charlotte Walker has swapped her grey life in London for a year in a tropical paradise.

Officially, she’s there for conservation but the reality is far more complicated.

For somewhere on the island 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.
