Welcome to Glorious Tuga - A Novel

" Welcome to Glorious Tuga is a gorgeous book, an extraordinary cross between the work of Gerald Durrell and Jane Austen. It is full of characters that you haven''t met in fiction before, living their lives in a forgotten corner of the globe in which everything, right down to the fruit, has been brilliantly and thoroughly imagined. I didn''t want to go home." -- Nick Hornby "If you can imagine a modern-day Jane Austen washed up on a fictional island and combine her perspicacity with the joyousness of The Durrells and the charm of Alexander McCall Smith, 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 "Pure joy in book form, a hilarious, inviting holiday for the spirit." -- Naomi Alderman, author of The Future and The Power
