Island Calling

What if your mother knows you better than you know yourself?

'Absolutely blissful... Get both books in the series: I’ll eat my hat if you don’t love them' India Knight,  Sunday Times

READERS LOVE  ISLAND CALLING:

‘An enchanting, funny novel full of beguiling characters!’
‘Thoroughly enjoyable’
‘A fabulous return to the wonderful Island of Tuga’
‘I adore all the characters’

On the remote island of Tuga de Oro, vet Charlotte Walker has been taken to the islanders’ hearts and, between days on the farms and nights with a new love interest, she’s content to remain in blissful retreat from her real life, in London.

Just for now, obviously.

Until real life hits the island with the force of a tropical storm: Charlotte’s mother arrives.

Lucinda Compton-Neville knows an identity crisis when she sees one, and has come to haul her daughter back on course: back to England, back to her career, back home where she belongs.

Funny, moving, and hope-filled,  Island Calling  is the joyous second novel in the Tuga Island Trilogy – about mothers and daughters about holding on and letting go.
