Can your mother really know you better than you know yourself?
On remote Tuga de Oro, vet Charlotte Walker has been taken into the islander s hearts and, between days on the farms and nights with a new love interest, she s content to remain in blissful retreat from her real life in London.
Just for now.

Until 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 hope-filled, Island Calling is a joyous novel about mothers and daughters; about holding on and letting go.
