Waterstones Canterbury are very excited to welcome Francesca Segal to our store to discuss her new novel Island Calling.
About this Event

On remote Tuga de Oro, vet Charlotte Walker’s caseload of donkeys, cows and ailing lizards has only increased. She still can’t believe the humiliating truth about her father. She probably ought to feel worse than she does. But the islanders have taken Charlotte into their hearts and somehow, between days on the farms and nights with an absorbing (if unsuitable) love interest, she’s content to remain in blissful retreat from her real life in London. Just for now.
But 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 filled with hope, Island Calling is a joyous novel about mothers and daughters; about holding on and letting go.
