From the author of the New York Times bestselling series, The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, comes a collection of short stories that have readers visiting in on romantic encounters in exotic locales around the globe In these hilarious stories of perverse meetings, casual dates, and romantic encounters, readers will be enthralled, saddened, inspired, and surprised by the encounters they witness. McCall Smith, a master of the unexpected and a seamless storyteller, revels in offering the quirky complications inherent in entanglements which human beings engineer for themselves—entanglements that can be shocking, edifying, compulsive, complicated, and sometimes, completely disastrous. This is an exceptional collection of stories from an author whose rapidly growing audience delights in his extraordinary imagination and delicious insights into the endlessly fascinating peculiarities of the human condition.

Industry Reviews

* The author's prose has the merits of simplicity, euphony and precision ... This is art that conceals art. I haven't read anything with such unalloyed pleasure for a long time. Sunday Telegraph * Reminiscent of Roald Dahl in their dark ironies, these tales of the emotional unexpected are perceptive, deftly written and droll. -- Michael Faber * The people who inhabit these stories are funny, shocking, middle-class and sinister, the author's wacky imagination being the only constant we can always take for granted. -- Alan Taylor The Scotsman
