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.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWeitere Angaben\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBuch (Paperback), Trade paperback (UK), Englisch, 320 Seiten\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65822998004061,"sku":"K098244507","price":15.8,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/8915\/0045\/files\/9824450700001A.jpg?v=1788647468","url":"https:\/\/weltbild.ch\/products\/island-calling-francesca-segal","provider":"Weltbild.ch Bücher \u0026 Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
