Ep 241: Francesca Segal on Literary Comfort in Welcome to Glorious Tuga

This week my guest is Francesca Segal, author of Welcome to Glorious Tuga, the literary comfort read we all need right now.

A complete and vivid world to escape to, Welcome to Glorious Tuga celebrates a fictional island, and the eccentric community who live there. Enchanting, uplifting and very funny, this is a captivating novel about love, belonging, and what it really means to come home.

 

‘A magical novel, so uplifting, heartwarming, funny. . . I cannot TELL you how much I adored it! This feels as if it was written specifically to give comfort – the perfect antidote to current climes.” — Marian Keyes
