Francesca Segal In Conversation 

Francesca’s new, and her fourth, book is Welcome to Glorious Tuga and she is a young, local author as well as an award-winning writer and journalist. Her writing has won her the 2012 Costa First Novel Award, a Betty Trask Award and has been long listed for The Women’s Prize.

Segal says: “Writing this novel was a deliberate reaching out for joy. The world can feel very bleak, and bringing Tuga to life became my own magical portal to wide beaches, crystal seas, endless sunshine and, most vitally, to a warm eccentric community of good people mostly just trying to do their best. Tuga de Oro was a refuge for its first settlers, and I hope will offer refuge for readers too.”

Francesca Segal will be at the Primorse Hill Community Library at 2pm on 2 November –
