Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Reminiscent of Roald Dahl in their dark ironies, these tales of the emotional unexpected are perceptive, deftly written, and droll.” Michel Faber, New York Times bestselling author of The Crimson Petal and the White
“Nimbly examines the mysteries of dating in this captivating collection…Smith’s nine stories, with their light humor and touching moments, should inspire smiles and sighs in tenderhearted readers everywhere.” Publishers Weekly
“Smith’s characters possess the quirkiness of Hiaasen creations…For love stories without the sap, you can’t go wrong here.” Booklist
“Captivating…Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, the tales focus on young and old characters in places as diverse as Australia, Italy, and Zimbabwe…Lisette Lecat, who has been an outstanding narrrator for McCall Smith’s bestsellers, shows here that she is equally adept with quite different material. Simon Prebble and Susan Lyon also excel…A truly delightful listen.” AudioFile
