Beautiful collection of short stories all told in McCall Smith's signature calming style. A perfect bedtime read.

As an Edinburgh resident, I think that"Sister Flora's First Day of Freedom" was my favourite. I loved its gentle quirkiness.

To be released at tonight's meetup.

Lovely book and recommended by LittleSuz so had to take this with me

Absolutely delightful read and in such a beautiful hard cover version. A lot of loving details had gone into it so will hold on to it to find a new good home

Congratulations on finding a Bookcrossing book and Happy Reading!!!

Read these stories a while ago now. AMS is a feel good writer and I normally read less cheery fare. But I was in the mood for something more soothing and these didn't disappoint.
