Deserves to be in everyones suitcase this summer
Zoologist Charlotte Walker has taken up a year-long fellowship on the tiny, remote island of Tuga de Oro to study the endangered gold coin tortoises in the jungle interior.
She is warmly embraced by the tight-knit community of islanders and their animals who are keen to adopt Charlotte as Tugas first vet.
But Charlotte has a family secret that connects her to the island. She is determined to solve the mystery: she just needs to make sure she stays focused on her research, and absolutely does not fall in love with the first man she meets
