Blake may have been able to see the world in a grain of sand, but McCall Smith can encapsulate the human condition in a plate of stewed pumpkin. His talent is to see the god in small things
Blake may have been able to see the world in a grain of sand, but McCall Smith can encapsulate the human condition in a plate of stewed pumpkin. His talent is to see the god in small things * Sunday Times Scotland *
Nothing will dim the charm of McCall Smith’s series, with its portraits of goodness, its sorrow over greed and its profound love of Africa. They are among the greatest comfort-reads of all time, written in plain, elegant prose * Sunday Times *
The hypnotic ease of McCall Smith’s style makes everything clear almost instantly … Throughout the Botswana landscape is richly evoked. Happiness and quiet wisdom prevail * Daily Telegraph *
Everything about [McCall Smith] is appealing. He’s just full of delight - it just bubbles out of him * Sunday Herald *
