Resumen del Editor
Brought to you by Penguin.
How far would you travel to find yourself?
London vet Charlotte Walker has taken up a fellowship on the tiny remote island of Tuga de Oro to study the endangered gold coin tortoises in the jungle interior. She can claim the best of reasons for this year in paradise - what better motivation than to save a species? - but the reality is more complex. For Charlotte has a secret that connects her to the island, and has finally determined to solve the mystery that has dominated her life.
But she will have little time for any of her declared or covert investigations. Inconveniently attracted to the new island doctor, Dan Zekri, Charlotte immediately finds herself the subject of local speculation and gossip. And not only do Tuga's tortoises need attention but so do the island's dogs and donkeys, not to mention the islanders themselves, determined to win Charlotte over with endless deliveries of cake until she relents and becomes vet to all their animals.
A complete and vivid world to escape to, Welcome to Glorious Tuga celebrates a fictional island, and the warm-hearted community who live there. Enchanting, uplifting and very funny, Welcome to Glorious Tuga is a captivating novel about love, belonging, and about what it really means to come home.
Reseñas de la Crítica
'A magical novel, so uplifting, heartwarming, funny . . . I cannot TELL you how much I adored it! This feels as if it was written specifically to give comfort – the perfect antidote to current climes' (Marian Keyes)
'If you can imagine a modern-day Jane Austen washed up on a fictional island ... you would get close to the wonder of Francesca Segal's new novel. But you wouldn't capture it completely because Segal has a style and wit all of her own. WELCOME TO GLORIOUS TUGA is warm, clever, thoughtful, funny, moving and brilliantly written. I relished every page and can't wait to press it into everyone's hands' (Elizabeth Day, author of MAGPIE)
'WELCOME TO GLORIOUS TUGA is a gorgeous book ... Everything, right down to the fruit, has been brilliantly and thoroughly imagined. I didn't want to go home' (Nick Hornby, author of ABOUT A BOY)
'Sparkling and sophisticated, Welcome To Glorious Tuga is a rare joy. With a cast of complex characters who will restore your belief in humanity, and a tropical setting to escape into, Francesca Segal's novel reminded me of the pleasures to be had in reading. Profound and comic by turns, she has made us an offering of light, and I would recommend every reader take it' (Jessie Burton, author of THE MINIATURIST and THE HOUSE OF FORTUNE)
'A warm, funny, totally addictive novel, with characters, locations, and wisdom that stay with you long after you finish reading. Welcome to Glorious Tuga provided me with the escape I needed, before I realised that I even needed it' (Sathnam Sanghera, author of EMPIRELAND)

Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with my best friend’s little sister before our lives went in different directions. Now, I’m the grumpy to Juliet’s sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover. And find the house has only one bed. Located under a mirrored ceiling.

Historia
Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.
