Valerie Martin recommends
Welcome to Glorious Tuga (2024)
(Tuga Trilogy, book 1)
Francesca Segal
"Slow down, grab a fizzy can and join ambitious herpetologist Charlotte Walker on lush and tropical Tuga, the most remote inhabited island in the world. In this wry, lively, uplifting, sometimes perilous, often hilarious novel, Charlotte ultimately discovers just how far from home she must go to find herself. A pure delight."
The Road Towards Home (2023)
Corinne Demas
"When Noah (saved the world with a boat) meets Cassandra (sees the future way too clearly) at the aptly named Clarion retirement home, they are both seriously not getting with the program. Though barely acquainted, they agree to escape together. As they break free from the planned trajectory and plunge into the uncharted territory of each other, you'll be rooting for the oldsters all the way. The Road Towards Home is a wonderful novel - engaging, wry, and genuinely touching."
The Daughter of Doctor Moreau (2022)
Silvia Moreno-Garcia
"With intelligence, energy, and unexpected tenderness, Silvia Moreno-Garcia takes on Wells' classic tale of scientific hubris. Carlota, the mad Doctor Moreau's only child, is a creation more original than anything her father's cruel experiments could ever conjure. At once playful and deadly serious, The Daughter of Doctor Moreau is an irresistible and thoroughly satisfying novel."
