| book description |

''Beguiling ... Segal is writing in a comic tradition that runs from Jane Austen to David Nicholls ... [The Tuga Trilogy novels] bring joy' 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 islandersâ€™ hearts and, between days on the farms and nights with a new love interest, sheâ€™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: Charlotteâ€™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 Trilogy â€“ about mothers and daughters; about holding on and letting go.
