Event Details
Charlotte Walker, a London veterinarian in her 20s, journeys to Tuga on a fellowship to study endangered tortoises. It’s a fictional tropical British isle in the South Atlantic, where residents are all entangled in each other’s business--not exactly a paradise, but it has its enchantments. Founded on “the principles of compassionate collectivism,” the community is mainly descendants of refugees who fled “murderous European colonialism” over the centuries. Limited copies available. For adults. Registration required.
