This is a story of community, family, kinship, friendship and love set on the fictional island of Tuga de Oro.
It is an escapist story about the residents of the island and Charlotte who is on the island for a year to research some reptile species and find her father.
The plot explores colonialism, culture, loyalty, betrayal, bureaucracy. It also celebrates humanity and resilience.
You will be taken on the journey to and around the island with its beautiful beaches, exotic sceneries and animals and a people with a unique history and culture.
I can’t wait to read the other books in this series.
