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

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.

#2 - Island Calling
'Beguiling ... Segal is writing in a comic tradition that runs from Jane Austen to David Nicholls' Observer
What if your mother knows you better than you know yourself?
On remote 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.
